1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor : the Lord will deliver him in the evil day. 2 The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth : and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. 3 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow : thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness. 4 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me : heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee. 5 My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish? 6 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things : his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose. 7 All my enemies whispered together against me : they devised evils to me. Psalms 41:1-7, Douay-Rheims Bible. Public domain.
