PSALM 41
The Blessing and Suffering of the Godly
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 Blessed is he who considers the poor;
​​The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 ​​The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive,
​​And he will be blessed on the earth;
​​You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3 ​​The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
​​You will sustain him on his sickbed.
​
4 ​​I said, “LORD, be merciful to me;
​​Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
5 ​​My enemies speak evil of me:
​​“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6 ​​And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies;
​​His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
​​When he goes out, he tells it.
​
7 ​​All who hate me whisper together against me;
​​Against me they devise my hurt.
8 ​​“An evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
​​And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”
9 ​​Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
​​Who ate my bread,
​​Has lifted up his heel against me.
​
10 ​​But You, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up,
​​That I may repay them.
11 ​​By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
​​Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 ​​As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
​​And set me before Your face forever.
​
13 ​​Blessed be the LORD God of Israel
​​From everlasting to everlasting!
​​Amen and Amen.
