41:1 + 41:2 \41:1\ Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. 41:3 \41:2\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. 41:4 \41:3\The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. 41:5 \41:4\I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 41:6 \41:5\Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? 41:7 \41:6\And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it]. 41:8 \41:7\All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. 41:9 \41:8\An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 41:10 \41:9\Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me. 41:11 \41:10\But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. 41:12 \41:11\By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 41:13 \41:12\And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
