Psalms 41

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.	1 Unto the end. The understanding of the sons of Korah.
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.	2 As the deer longs for fountains of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.
3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.	3 My soul has thirsted for the strong living God. When will I draw close and appear before the face of God?
4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.	4 My tears have been my bread, day and night. Meanwhile, it is said to me daily: “Where is your God?”
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?	5 These things I have remembered; and my soul within me, I have poured out. For I will cross into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, all the way to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and confession, the sound of feasting.
6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.	6 Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still confess to him: the salvation of my countenance,
7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.	7 and my God. My soul has been troubled within myself. Because of this, I will remember you from the land of the Jordan and from Hermon, from the little mountain.
8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.	8 Abyss calls upon abyss, with the voice of your floodgate. All your heights and your waves have passed over me.
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.	9 In the daylight, the Lord has ordered his mercy; and in the night, a canticle to him. With me is a prayer to the God of my life.
10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.	10 I will say to God, “You are my supporter. Why have you forgotten me? And why do I walk in mourning, while my adversary afflicts me?”
11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.	11 While my bones are being broken, my enemies, who trouble me, have reproached me. Meanwhile, they say to me every single day, “Where is your God?”
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.	12 My soul, why are you saddened? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still confess to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God.
13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
