Psalms 41

1 Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

1Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

2The 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 Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.

3The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

4 As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

4I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5 Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?

5Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

6 And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

6And 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.

7All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

8 A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

8An 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 confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

10 But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

10But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto 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.

11By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

13 Blessed be Jehovah, theGod of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.

13Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
