Psalms 41

¹To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed [by God's grace and compassion] is he who considers the helpless; The LORD will save him in the day of trouble.

²The LORD will protect him and keep him alive; And he will be called blessed in the land; You do not hand him over to the desire of his enemies.

³The LORD will sustain and strengthen him on his sickbed; In his illness, You will restore him to health.

⁴As for me, I said, "O LORD, be gracious to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You."

⁵My enemies speak evil of me, saying, "When will he die and his name perish?"

⁶And when one comes to see me, he speaks empty words, While his heart gathers malicious gossip [against me]; When he goes away, he tells it [everywhere].

⁷All who hate me whisper together about me; Against me they devise my hurt [imagining the worst for me], saying,

⁸"A wicked thing is poured out upon him and holds him; And when he lies down, he will not rise up again."

⁹Even my own close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me [betraying me].

¹⁰But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and[1] restore me [to health], So that I may repay them.

¹¹By this I know that You favor and delight in me, Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

¹²As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And You set me in Your presence forever.

¹³Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting [from this age to the next, and forever]. Amen and Amen (so be it).
