Psalm 41:1-6 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

2. Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

3. Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

4. I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5. Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?

6. And if he come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
