Psalm Chapter 41 Back NextPsalm 41 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by
David.
{41:1}
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.
