NASB Bible

Psalms 41

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1

How blessed is he who  aconsiders the  1helpless; The LORD will deliver him  bin a day of  2trouble.

2

The LORD will  aprotect him and keep him alive, And he shall  1be called  bblessed upon the earth; And  cdo not give him over to the desire of his enemies.

3

The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You  1restore him to health.

4

As for me, I said, "O LORD, be gracious to me;  aHeal my soul, for  bI have sinned against You."

5

My enemies  aspeak evil against me, "When will he die, and his name perish?"

6

And  1when he comes to see me, he  aspeaks  2falsehood; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; When he goes outside, he tells it.

7

All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they  adevise my hurt, saying,

8

"A wicked thing is poured out  1upon him, That when he lies down, he will  anot rise up again."

9

Even my  aclose friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.

10

But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and  araise me up, That I may repay them.

11

By this I know that  aYou are pleased with me, Because  bmy enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

12

As for me,  aYou uphold me in my integrity, And You set me  bin Your presence forever.

13

 aBlessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
