Psalms

41:1		Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
41:2		The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
41:3		The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
41:4		I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
41:5		Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
41:6		And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
41:7		All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
41:8		An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
41:9		Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
41:10		But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
41:11		By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
41:12		And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
41:13		Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
