Psa 41:3(LXX 40:4) May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; thou hast made all his bed in his sickness.
Psa 41:4(LXX 40:5) I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Psa 41:5(LXX 40:6) Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?
Psa 41:6(LXX 40:7) And if he came to see me, his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.
Psa 41:7(LXX 40:8) All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.
Psa 41:8(LXX 40:9) They denounced a wicked word against me, saying, Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

Psa 41:10(LXX 40:11) But thou, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.
Psa 41:11(LXX 40:12) By this I know that thou hast delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.
Psa 41:12(LXX 40:13) But thou didst help me because of mine innocence, and hast established me before thee for ever.
Psa 41:13(LXX 40:14) Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.
