Testaments

Psalms - Chapter 41 - King James Version

  1. Blessedishe that considereth the poor: theLORDwill deliver him in time of trouble.
  2. TheLORDwill preserve him, and keep him alive;andhe shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
  3. TheLORDwill 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 seeme, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself;whenhe goeth abroad, he tellethit.
  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: andnowthat 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 uphisheel against me.
  10. But thou, OLORD, 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. BlessedbetheLORDGod of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
