Psalms - Chapter 41 | New International Version

  • 1. {For the director of music. A psalm of David.} Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.
  • 2. The LORD will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.
  • 3. The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness.
  • 4. I said, "O LORD, have mercy on me; heal me, for I have sinned against you."
  • 5. My enemies say of me in malice, "When will he die and his name perish?"
  • 6. Whenever one comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it abroad.
  • 7. All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,
  • 8. A vile disease has beset him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.
  • 9. Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
  • 10. But you, O LORD, have mercy on me; raise me up, that I may repay them.
  • 11. I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
  • 12. In my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
  • 13. Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
