Psalms 41
1
Blessed is he who considers the poor.
2
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive.
3
The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed,
4
I said, “LORD, have mercy on me!
5
My enemies speak evil against me:
6
If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood.
7
All who hate me whisper together against me.
8
“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him.
9
Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
10
But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up,
11
By this I know that you delight in me,
12
As for me, you uphold me in my integrity,
13
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
