41:1 Blessed is the one who is considerate of the destitute; the LORD will deliver him when the times are evil.
41:2 The LORD will protect him and keep him alive; he will be blessed in the land; and he will not be handed over to the desires of his enemies.
41:3 The LORD will uphold him even on his sickbed; you will transform his bed of illness into health.
41:4 As for me, I said, "LORD, be gracious to me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you!"
41:5 As for my enemies, with malice they said, "When will he die and memory of his name perish?"
41:6 The one who comes to visit me speaks lies; in his heart he thinks slanderous things about me and goes around spreading them.
41:7 As for all who hate me, they whisper together against me; they desire to do me harm.
41:8 They say, "Wickedness is entrenched in him. Once he is brought low, he will not rise again."
41:9 As for my best friend, the one in whom I trusted, the one who ate my bread, even he has insulted me!
41:10 But you, LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up so that I may pay them back!
41:11 In this way I will know that you are pleased with me, and that my enemies will not shout in triumph over me.
41:12 As for me, you will maintain my just cause, and you will cause me to stand in your presence forever.
41:13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, from eternity to eternity. Amen and amen!
