Psalms 41:1-9

1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

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

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 will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

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

4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

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

5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

5 My enemies say of me in malice, “When will 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.

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 that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

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

8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

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

9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

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