41:1 For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. Happy is one who cares for 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 Lethal poison has been poured into 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 May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and amen.
