Psalms 41

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1BlessedH835 is he that considerethH7919 the poorH1800: YhwhH3068 will deliverH4422 him in timeH3117 of troubleH7451.12

2YhwhH3068 will preserveH8104 him, and keep him aliveH2421; and he shall be blessedH833 upon the earthH776: and thou wilt not deliverH5414 him unto the willH5315 of his enemiesH341.3

3YhwhH3068 will strengthenH5582 him upon the bedH6210 of languishingH1741: thou wilt restore himH2015 from his bedH4904 of sicknessH2483.4

4I saidH559, YhwhH3068, be mercifulH2603 unto me: healH7495 my soulH5315; for I have sinnedH2398 against thee.

5Mine enemiesH341 speakH559 evilH7451 of me, When shall he dieH4191, and his nameH8034 perishH6?

6And if he comeH935 to seeH7200 me, he speakethH1696 vanityH7723: his heartH3820 gatherethH6908 iniquityH205 to itself; when he goethH3318 abroadH2351, he tellethH1696 it.

7All that hateH8130 me whisperH3907 togetherH3162 against me: against me do they deviseH2803 my hurtH7451.5

8An evilH1100 diseaseH1697, say they, cleaveth fastH3332 unto him: and now that he liethH7901 he shall rise upH6965 no moreH3254.6

9Yea, mine own familiarH7965 friendH376, in whom I trustedH982, which did eatH398 of my breadH3899, hath lifted upH1431 his heelH6119 against me.78

10But thou, O YhwhH3068, be mercifulH2603 unto me, and raise me upH6965, that I may requiteH7999 them.

11By this I knowH3045 that thou favourestH2654 me, because mine enemyH341 doth not triumphH7321 over me.

12And as for me, thou upholdestH8551 me in mine integrityH8537, and settestH5324 me before thy faceH6440 for everH5769.

13BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 from everlastingH5769, and to everlastingH5769. AmenH543, and AmenH543.
