1 <V 40:1>Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. <V 40:2>Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the evil day. Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the LORD delivers him; For the director of music. A psalm of David. Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers them in times of trouble.
2 <V 40:3>May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries. the LORD protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies. The LORD protects and preserves them— they are counted among the blessed in the land— he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
3 <V 40:4>May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering. The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health. The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.
4 <V 40:5>I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.” As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!” I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD; heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5 <V 40:6>My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish? My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die, and his name perish?” My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish?”
6 <V 40:7>And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way. And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers iniquity; when he goes out, he tells it abroad. When one of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it around.
7 <V 40:8>All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me. All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me. All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,
8 <V 40:9>They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again? They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him; he will not rise again from where he lies.” “A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.”
9 <V 40:10>For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me. Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me. Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me.
10 <V 40:11>But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them. But you, O LORD, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them! But may you have mercy on me, LORD; raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 <V 40:12>By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me. By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 <V 40:13>But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity. But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
13 <V 40:14>Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen. Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
