1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil. 2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth; and deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies. 3 The LORD will support him upon the couch of languishing: thou makest all his bed in his sickness. 4 I said, O LORD, have mercy upon me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 5 Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish? 6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself: when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. Psalms 41:1-7, English Revised Version. Public domain.
