King James VersionPsalms41

Psalms

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