Psalms 41

1 Blessed is he who considers a poor man. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

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

2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth. And thou do not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and you will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

3 Jehovah will support him upon the bed of languishing. Thou will make all his bed in his sickness.

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

4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

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

5 My enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?

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

6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. Against me they devise my hurt.

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

8 An evil disease, they say, clings firm to him. And now that he lies he shall rise up no more.

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

9 Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

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

10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.

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

11 By this I know that thou delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

By this I know that you favour me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me.

12 And as for me, thou uphold me in my integrity, and set me before thy face forever.

And as for me, you uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before your face for ever.

13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Truly, and Truly.

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