Psalms - Chapter 41 | American Standard Version

  • 1. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
  • 2. Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.
  • 3. Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.
  • 4. I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; For I have sinned against thee.
  • 5. Mine enemies speak evil against me, {cf15i saying}, When will he die, and his name perish?
  • 6. And if he come to see {cf15i me}, he speaketh falsehood; 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, {cf15i 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, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.
  • 10. But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.
  • 11. By this I know that thou delightest in 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 Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
