THE BIBLE
Psalms
Chapter 41

41:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor: Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.
41:2 Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive, He shall be blessed on the earth, And he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
41:3 Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, And restore him from his bed of illness.
41:4 I said, "Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you."
41:5 My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"
41:6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
41:7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
41:8 "An evil disease," they say, "has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more."
41:9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who ate bread with me, Has lifted up his heel against me.
41:10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, That I may repay them.
41:11 By this I know that you delight in me, Because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.
41:12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, And set me in your presence forever.
41:13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.
