Psalms 41:1-8 World English Bible (WEB)

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 comes 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.”
