A Psalm of David.\n41:2 Happy is he that considereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in the day of evil.\n41:3 the Lord preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.\n41:4 the Lord support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.\n41:5 As for me, I said: 'O the Lord, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'\n41:6 Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'\n41:7 And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.\n41:8 All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:\n41:9 'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'\n41:10 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.\n41:11 But Thou, O the Lord, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.\n41:12 By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.\n41:13 And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.\n41:14 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.","title":"Jewish Publication Society Bible: Psalms 41","type":"page"}
