Psalms
41
- Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.
- The LORD will protect him and preserve his
life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of
his foes.
- The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed
and restore him from his bed of illness.
- I said, "O LORD, have mercy on me;
heal me, for I have sinned against you."
- My enemies say of me in malice, "When
will he die and his name perish ?"
- Whenever one comes to see me, he speaks
falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it
abroad.
- All my enemies whisper together against
me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,
- "A vile disease has beset him; he will
never get up from the place where he lies."
- Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he
who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
- But you, O LORD, have mercy on me; raise
me up, that I may repay them.
- I know that you are pleased with me, for
my enemy does not triumph over me.
- In my integrity you uphold me and set me
in your presence forever.
- Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
