Psalm 41

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. A psalm of David: How blessed are those who care for the poor! When calamity comes, ADONAI will save them.

2 ADONAI will preserve them, keep them alive, and make them happy in the land. You will not hand them over to the whims of their enemies.

3 ADONAI sustains them on their sickbed; when they lie ill, you make them recover.

4 I said, "ADONAI, have pity on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you!" 830

5 My enemies say the worst about me: "When will he die and his name disappear?"

6 When they come to see me they speak insincerely, their hearts meanwhile gathering falsehoods; then they go out and spread bad reports.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me, imagining the worst about me.

8 "A fatal disease has attached itself to him; now that he lies ill, he will never get up."

9 Even my close friend, on whom I relied, who shared my table, has turned against me.

10 But you, ADONAI, have pity on me, put me on my feet, so I can pay them back.

11 I will know you are pleased with me if my enemy doesn't defeat me.

12 You uphold me because of my innocence you establish me in your presence forever.

13 Blessed be ADONAI the God of Isra'el from eternity past to eternity future. Amen. Amen.

New Living Translation NLT

1 Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The LORD rescues them when they are in trouble.

2 The LORD protects them and keeps them alive. He gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies.

3 The LORD nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health.

4 “O LORD,” I prayed, “have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

5 But my enemies say nothing but evil about me. “How soon will he die and be forgotten?” they ask.

6 They visit me as if they were my friends, but all the while they gather gossip, and when they leave, they spread it everywhere.

7 All who hate me whisper about me, imagining the worst.

8 “He has some fatal disease,” they say. “He will never get out of that bed!”

9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely, the one who shared my food, has turned against me.

10 LORD, have mercy on me. Make me well again, so I can pay them back!

11 I know you are pleased with me, for you have not let my enemies triumph over me.

12 You have preserved my life because I am innocent; you have brought me into your presence forever.

13 Praise the LORD, the God of Israel, who lives from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and amen!
