Psalms

Chapter 41

  • 1

    Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

  • 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.

  • 3

    The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

  • 4

    I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

  • 5

    Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

  • 6

    And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

  • 7

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

  • 8

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

  • 9

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

  • 10

    But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

  • 11

    By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

  • 12

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

  • 13

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