Psalm 41 - American Standard Version 2015

¹ {\b For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.}\par\par\tab Blessed is he that considereth the poor:\par\tab Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

² Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive,\par\tab And he shall be blessed upon the earth;\par\tab And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

³ Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing:\par\tab Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

⁴ I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me:\par\tab Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

⁵ Mine enemies speak evil against me, {\i saying},\par\tab When will he die, and his name perish?

⁶ And if he come to see {\i me}, he speaketh falsehood;\par\tab His heart gathereth iniquity to itself:\par\tab When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

⁷ All that hate me whisper together against me;\par\tab Against me do they devise my hurt.

⁸ An evil disease, {\i say they}, cleaveth fast unto him;\par\tab And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

⁹ Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,\par\tab Who did eat of my bread,\par\tab Hath lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁰ But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up,\par\tab That I may requite them.

¹¹ By this I know that thou delightest in me,\par\tab Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

¹² And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,\par\tab And settest me before thy face for ever.\par

¹³ Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,\par\tab From everlasting and to everlasting.\par\tab Amen, and Amen.\par
