# Chapter 41
|
||
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. |
