Psalms 41:1-7 ▼

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.

2 Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

3 Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

4 I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

5 My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
