Chapter 40

1


 

  Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor : the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.  

 

 

--

3


 

  The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth : and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.  

 

 

--

4


 

  The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow : thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.  

 

 

--

5


 

  I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me : heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.  

 

 

--

6


 

  My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?  

 

 

--

7


 

  And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things : his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.  

 

 

--

8


 

  All my enemies whispered together against me : they devised evils to me.  

 

 

--

9


 

  They determined against me an unjust word : shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?  

 

 

--

10


 

  For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.  

 

 

--

11


 

  But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again : and I will requite them.  

 

 

--

12


 

  By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me : because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.  

 

 

--

13


 

  But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence : and hast established me in thy sight for ever.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
