| Chapter 41 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil. -
|
2 |
Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies. -
|
3 |
Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness. -
|
4 |
As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. -
|
5 |
Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish? -
|
6 |
And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it]. -
|
7 |
All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt. -
|
8 |
A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more. -
|
9 |
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me. -
|
10 |
But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. -
|
11 |
By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. -
|
12 |
But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. -
|
13 |
Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen. -
