Psalms 41

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

1 Those who pay close attention to the poor are truly happy! The LORD rescues them during troubling times.

2 The LORD protects them and keeps them alive; they are widely regarded throughout the land as happy people. You won't hand them over to the will of their enemies.

3 The LORD will strengthen them when they are lying in bed, sick. You will completely transform the place where they lie ill.

4 But me? I said, "LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me because I have sinned against you."

5 My enemies speak maliciously about me: "When will he die and his name disappear?"

6 Whenever they come to visit, they say nothing of value. Their hearts collect evil gossip; once they leave, they tell it to everybody.

7 All of those who hate me talk about me, whispering to each other, plotting evil against me:

8 "Some horrible thing has been poured into him; the next time he lies down, he won't get up.

9 Even my good friend, the one I trusted, who shared my food, has kicked me with his heel—a betrayer!

10 But you, LORD, please have mercy on me and lift me up so I can pay them back!

11 Then I'll know you are pleased with me because my enemy won't be shouting in triumph over me.

12 You support me in my integrity; you put me in your presence forever.

13 Bless the LORD, the God of Israel, from forever to forever! Amen and Amen!

New International Version NIV

1 Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers them in times of trouble.

2 The LORD protects and preserves them— they are counted among the blessed in the land— he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.

3 The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.

4 I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD; heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

5 My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish?”

6 When one of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it around.

7 All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,

8 “A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.”

9 Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me.

10 But may you have mercy on me, LORD; raise me up, that I may repay them.

11 I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

12 Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.

13 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
