Chapter 41

1


 

  Blessed is he who considers the poor: Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive, He shall be blessed on the earth, And he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, And restore him from his bed of illness.  

 

 

--

4


 

  I said, ' Yahweh, have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you.'  

 

 

--

5


 

  My enemies speak evil against me: 'When will he die, and his name perish?'  

 

 

--

6


 

  If he come to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.  

 

 

--

7


 

  All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.  

 

 

--

8


 

  'An evil disease,' they say, 'has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.'  

 

 

--

9


 

  Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who ate bread with me, Has lifted up his heel against me.  

 

 

--

10


 

  But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, That I may repay them.  

 

 

--

11


 

  By this I know that you delight in me, Because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.  

 

 

--

12


 

  As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, And set me in your presence forever.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen. BOOK II Psalm 42 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.
