41:1 For the choir director. A psalm of David. Happy is one who is considerate of the poor; the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.
41:2 The Lord will keep him and preserve him; he will be blessed in the land. You will not give him over to the desire of his enemies.
41:3 The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed; you will heal him on the bed where he lies.
41:4 I said, “Lord, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
41:5 My enemies speak maliciously about me: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
41:6 When one of them comes to visit, he speaks deceitfully; he stores up evil in his heart; he goes out and talks.
41:7 All who hate me whisper together about me; they plan to harm me.
41:8 “Something awful has overwhelmed him, and he won’t rise again from where he lies!”
41:9 Even my friend in whom I trusted, one who ate my bread, has raised his heel against me.
41:10 But you, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up; then I will repay them.
41:11 By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.
41:12 You supported me because of my integrity and set me in your presence forever.
41:13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and amen.
