Psalms 41:1-13
[1] {To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} 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. |
