Psalm 41 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

The Psalmist in Sickness complains of Enemies and False Friends.

Psa 41:1

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

Blessed is he that considereth the poor:

Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

Psa 41:2

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.

Psa 41:3

Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing:

Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

Psa 41:4

I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me:

Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Psa 41:5

Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying,

When will he die, and his name perish?

Psa 41:6

And if he come to see me, he speaketh falsehood;

His heart gathereth iniquity to itself:

When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

Psa 41:7

All that hate me whisper together against me;

Against me do they devise my hurt.

Psa 41:8

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him;

And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

Psa 41:9

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,

Who did eat of my bread,

Hath lifted up his heel against me.

Psa 41:10

But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up,

That I may requite them.

Psa 41:11

By this I know that thou delightest in me,

Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

Psa 41:12

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,

And settest me before thy face for ever.

Psa 41:13

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,

From everlasting and to everlasting.

Amen, and Amen.
