41:2 How blessed are those who care for the poor! When calamity comes, Adonai will save them.
41:3 Adonai will preserve them, keep them alive, and make them happy in the land. You will not hand them over to the whims of their enemies.
41:4 Adonai sustains them on their sickbed; when they lie ill, you make them recover.
41:5 I said, “Adonai, have pity on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you!”
41:6 My enemies say the worst about me: “When will he die and his name disappear?”
41:7 When they come to see me they speak insincerely, their hearts meanwhile gathering falsehoods; then they go out and spread bad reports.
41:8 All who hate me whisper together against me, imagining the worst about me.
41:9 “A fatal disease has attached itself to him; now that he lies ill, he will never get up.”
41:10 Even my close friend, on whom I relied, who shared my table, has turned against me.
41:11 But you, Adonai, have pity on me, put me on my feet, so I can pay them back.
41:12 I will know you are pleased with me if my enemy doesn’t defeat me.
41:13 You uphold me because of my innocence you establish me in your presence forever.
