Chapter 41
|
1
|
Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will
deliver him in time of trouble. |
2
|
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and
he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not
deliver him unto the will of his enemies. |
3
|
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. |
4
|
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for
I have sinned against thee. |
5
|
Mine enemies speak evil of me, 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. |
8
|
An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him:
and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. |
9
|
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which
did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against
me. |
10
|
But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me
up, that I may requite them. |
11
|
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine
enemy doth not triumph over me. |
12
|
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
and settest me before thy face for ever. |
13
|
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting,
and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. |
