^41:1 He who considers a poor man is fortunate. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil. ^41:2Jehovah will preserve him and keep him alive and he will be fortunate upon the earth. And you do not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

    ^41:3 Jehovah will support him upon the bed of languishing. You will make all his bed in his sickness.

    ^41:4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.

    ^41:5 My enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die and his name perish? ^41:6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers wickedness to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

    ^41:7 All who hate me whisper together against me. Against me they devise my hurt. ^41:8 A wicked speech, they say, clings firm to him. And now that he lies he will rise up no more.

    ^41:9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

    ^41:10 But you, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me and raise me up that I may repay them. ^41:11 I know that you delight in me by this, because my enemy does not triumph over me. ^41:12 And as for me, you uphold me in my integrity and set me before your face everlasting.

    ^41:13 Praise Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Truly and Truly.
