Psalms 41
Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy
and the poor : the Lord will deliver him in the evil
day.
The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him
blessed upon the earth : and deliver him not up to the
will of his enemies.
The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow : thou hast turned
all his couch in his sickness.
I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me : heal my soul,
for I have sinned against thee.
My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall
he die and his name perish?
And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things :
his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went
out and spoke to the same purpose.
All my enemies whispered together against me : they
devised evils to me.
They determined against me an unjust word : shall he
that sleepeth rise again no more?
For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate
my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up
again : and I will requite them.
By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me
: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence :
and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity
to eternity. So be it. So be it. |
