Psalms
41:1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in
time of trouble.
41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed
upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his
enemies.
41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make
all his bed in his sickness.
41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned
against thee.
41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
41:6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth
iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise
my hurt.
41:8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth
he shall rise up no more.
41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my
bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may
requite them.
41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not
triumph over me.
41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me
before thy face for ever.
41:13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting.
Amen, and Amen.
