Psalms 41

¹TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him Who is acting wisely to the poor, In a day of evil YHWH delivers him.

²YHWH preserves him and revives him, He is blessed in the land, And You do not give him into the will of his enemies.

³YHWH supports him on a bed of sickness, You have turned his bed in his weakness.

⁴I said, “O YHWH, favor me, Heal my soul, for I sinned against You,”

⁵My enemies say evil of me: When he dies—his name has perished!

⁶And if he came to see—he speaks vanity, His heart gathers iniquity to itself, He goes out—at the street he speaks.

⁷All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

⁸A worthless thing is poured out on him, And because he lay down he does not rise again.

⁹Even my ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, Made the heel great against me,

¹⁰And You, YHWH, favor me, And cause me to rise, And I give repayment to them.

¹¹By this I have known, That You have delighted in me, Because my enemy does not shout over me.

¹²As for me, in my integrity, You have taken hold on me, And cause me to stand before You for all time.

¹³Blessed is YHWH, God of Israel, From age to age. Amen and Amen.
