Psalms 41

Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

The LORD 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.

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

I said, “LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?

If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

And if he come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.

“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
