Psalm 41

Victory in spite of Betrayal

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

Happy is one who is considerate of the poor;
the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.(A)
The Lord will keep him and preserve him;
he will be blessed in the land.(B)
You will not give him over to the desire of his enemies.(C)
The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed;
you will heal him on the bed where he lies.(D)

I said, “Lord, be gracious to me;
heal me, for I have sinned against you.”(E)
My enemies speak maliciously about me:
“When will he die and be forgotten?” (F)
When one of them comes to visit, he speaks deceitfully;
he stores up evil in his heart;
he goes out and talks.(G)
