Chapter 41 |
| 1 | Blessed is he
that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
|
| 2 | The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed
upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his
enemies. |
| 3
| The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. |
|
4 | I said, LORD, be merciful
unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. |
| 5 | Mine enemies
speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? |
| 6 | And if he
come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself;
when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. |
| 7 | All that hate me whisper
together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. |
| 8 | An evil
disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise
up no more. |
| 9
| Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which
did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. |
| 10 | But
thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite
them. |
| 11 |
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth
not triumph over me. |
| 12 | And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine
integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. |
| 13 | Blessed be
the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and
Amen. |
