| 41:1
| Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in
time of trouble.
|
| 41:2
| 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.
|
| 41:3
| The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make
all his bed in his sickness.
|
| 41:4
| I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned
against thee.
|
| 41:5
| Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
|
| 41:6
| And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth
iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
|
| 41:7
| All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise
my hurt.
|
| 41:8
| An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth
he shall rise up no more.
|
| 41:9
| Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my
bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
|
| 41:10
| But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may
requite them.
|
| 41:11
| By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not
triumph over me.
|
| 41:12
| And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me
before thy face for ever.
|
| 41:13
| Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting.
Amen, and Amen.
