41:1  To the leader. A Psalm of David. Happy are those who consider the poor; the Lord delivers them in the day of trouble.
41:2  The Lord protects them and keeps them alive; they are called happy in the land. You do not give them up to the will of their enemies.
41:3  The Lord sustains them on their sickbed; in their illness you heal all their infirmities.
41:4  As for me, I said, ‘O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you.’
41:5  My enemies wonder in malice when I will die, and my name perish.
41:6  And when they come to see me, they utter empty words, while their hearts gather mischief; when they go out, they tell it abroad.
41:7  All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me.
41:8  They think that a deadly thing has fastened on me, that I will not rise again from where I lie.
41:9  Even my bosom friend in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted the heel against me.
41:10  But you, O Lord, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
41:11  By this I know that you are pleased with me; because my enemy has not triumphed over me.
41:12  But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence for ever.
41:13  Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
