Psalms 41

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil. ²Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies. ³Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness. ⁴I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. ⁵Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish? ⁶And if he come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it. ⁷All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt. ⁸An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. ⁹Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me. ¹⁰But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them. ¹¹By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. ¹²And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever. ¹³Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
