Psalm 41Victory in spite of Betrayal
|
|
|
|
1. Happy is one who is considerate of the poor;
|
|
the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
3.
|
|
The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed;
|
|
you will heal him on the bed where he lies.
|
|
|
|
4. I said, "Lord, be gracious to me;
|
|
heal me, for I have sinned against you."
|
|
|
|
5. My enemies speak maliciously about me:
|
|
"When will he die and be forgotten?"
|
|
|
|
6. When one of them comes to visit, he speaks deceitfully;
|
|
he stores up evil in his heart;
|
|
he goes out and talks.
|
|
|
|
7. All who hate me whisper together about me;
|
|
they plan to harm me.
|
|
|
|
8. "Something awful has overwhelmed him,
|
|
and he won't rise again from where he lies!"
|
|
|
|
9. Even my friend in whom I trusted,
|
|
one who ate my bread,
|
|
has raised his heel against me.
|
|
|
|
10. But you, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up;
|
|
then I will repay them.
|
|
|
|
11. By this I know that you delight in me:
|
|
my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.
|
|
|
|
12. You supported me because of my integrity
|
|
and set me in your presence forever.
|
|
|
|
13. Blessed be
|
|
the Lord God of Israel,
|
|
from everlasting to everlasting.
|
|
Amen and amen.
