PS-41:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he

that

considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of

trouble.

PS-41:2 The 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.

PS-41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:

 thou wilt

make all his bed in his sickness.

PS-41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I

have sinned

against thee.

PS-41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and

his name perish?

PS-41:6 And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his

heart gathereth

iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

PS-41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me

do they

devise my hurt.

PS-41:8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and

[now] that he

lieth he shall rise up no more.

PS-41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which

did eat of my

bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

PS-41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up,

that I may

requite them.

PS-41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine

enemy doth not

triumph over me.

PS-41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and

settest me

before thy face for ever.

PS-41:13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting,

and to

everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
