Psalms Chapter 41

1aTo the choirmaster.↑

A Psalm of David.

1bHappy is he who attends to the poor;

On the evil day,

The Lord will deliver him.

2The Lord will protect him

And preserve him alive.

And he will be pronounced happy on the earth,

And you will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

3The Lord will support him on his sickbed;

You will overturn all causes of him being bedridden in his illness.

4I have said,

“O Lord have mercy on me;

Heal me inwardly,

For I have sinned against you.”

5My enemies speak an evil thing of me:

“When will he die,

And his name perish?”

6And if anyone comes to see what false thing he can say,

His heart accumulates iniquity;

He goes out into the open

And says it.

7All those who hate me

Whisper among themselves against me;

They conceive evil for me.

8A mischievous deed has taken shape in their plan,

Whereby, “When he lies down,

He will not rise again.”

9Even a man at peace with me,

In whom I trusted

One who partook of my bread –

Has lifted up his heel against me.

10But you, O Lord, have mercy on me,

And raise me up,

So that I can repay them.

11By this I know that you have pleasure in me:

My enemy will not gloat over me.

12As for me, you take hold of me in my integrity,

And you place me before yourself age-abidingly.

13Blessed be the Lord God of Israel

From age to age.

Amen and amen.
