Psalms Chapter 41 (ESV)
undefined
Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the LORD delivers him;
undefined
the LORD protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
undefined
The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.
undefined
As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!”
undefined
My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die, and his name perish?”
undefined
And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers iniquity; when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
undefined
All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me.
undefined
They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him; he will not rise again from where he lies.”
undefined
Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
undefined
But you, O LORD, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them!
undefined
By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me.
undefined
But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
undefined
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.
