41:1 How blessed is the person who understands the plight of the weak! May the Lord deliver him in the day of trouble.
41:2 May the Lord guard him and keep him alive. May he be blessed in the land. May you not surrender him to the desire of his enemies.
41:3 May the Lord sustain him on his sickbed. You raise him up from his bed.
41:4 I said, “Lord, have mercy on me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against you.”
41:5 My enemies speak evil about me: “When will he die and his name perish?”
41:6 If one comes to see me, he speaks falsely. In his heart he collects malicious plans. He goes out. He speaks about them in the street.
41:7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They plan evil for me. They say,
41:8 “A deadly affliction is poured out on him. He will never get up from the place where he lies.”
41:9 Even a man who was at peace with me, a man whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has raised up his heel to step on me.
41:10 But you, Lord, have mercy on me. Raise me up, so that I can repay them.
41:11 From this I know that you are pleased with me: My enemy does not triumph over me.
41:12 As for me—in my integrity you uphold me, and you set me up in your presence forever.
41:13 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity. Amen and Amen.
