Psalm 41
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
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.
3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4 I said, Lord, be merciful unto me:
heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me,
When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity:
his heart gathereth iniquity to itself;
when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me:
against me do they devise my hurt.
8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him:
and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread,
hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me,
and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 By this I know that thou favourest me,
because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

Psalm 41
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.
1 Blessed are those who consider the poor;
the Lord will deliver them in the day of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve them and keep them alive,
and they will be blessed on the earth,
and You will not deliver them to the will of their enemies.
3 The Lord will sustain them on the sickbed;
You will restore all his lying down in his illness.
4 I said, “Lord, be gracious to me;
heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
5 My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6 And if people come to see me, they speak insincerely;
their heart gathers iniquity to itself,
when they go outside, they tell it.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
they devise harm against me.
8 “An evil disease clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will not rise up again.”
9 Yes, my own close friend,
in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread,
has lifted up the heel against me.
10 But You, O Lord, be gracious to me,
and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You favor me,
because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
and set me before You forever.
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
from everlasting and to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.

Oración pidiendo salud
Al músico principal. Salmo de David.
41 Bienaventurado el que piensa en el pobre;
En el día malo lo librará Jehová.
2 Jehová lo guardará, y le dará vida;
Será bienaventurado en la tierra,
Y no lo entregarás a la voluntad de sus enemigos.
3 Jehová lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor;
Mullirás toda su cama en su enfermedad.
4 Yo dije: Jehová, ten misericordia de mí;
Sana mi alma, porque contra ti he pecado.
5 Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí, preguntando:
¿Cuándo morirá, y perecerá su nombre?
6 Y si vienen a verme, hablan mentira;
Su corazón recoge para sí iniquidad,
Y al salir fuera la divulgan.
7 Reunidos murmuran contra mí todos los que me aborrecen;
Contra mí piensan mal, diciendo de mí:
8 Cosa pestilencial se ha apoderado de él;
Y el que cayó en cama no volverá a levantarse.
9 Aun el hombre de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que de mi pan comía,
Alzó contra mí el calcañar.(A)
10 Mas tú, Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar,
Y les daré el pago.
11 En esto conoceré que te he agradado,
Que mi enemigo no se huelgue de mí.
12 En cuanto a mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado,
Y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.
