Psalm 41

English Standard Version

O Lord, Be Gracious to Me

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

41 ^(A)Blessed is the one who considers the poor!^[a]
    ^(B)In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
²the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;
    he is called blessed in the land;
    you ^(C)do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
³The Lord sustains him on his sickbed;
    in his illness you restore him to full health.^[b]

⁴As for me, I said, “O Lord, ^(D)be gracious to me;
    ^(E)heal me,^[c] for I have sinned against you!”
⁵My enemies say of me in malice,
    “When will he die, and his name perish?”
⁶And when one comes to see me, ^(F)he utters empty words,
    while his heart gathers iniquity;
    when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
⁷All who hate me whisper together about me;
    they imagine the worst for me.^[d]

⁸They say, “A deadly thing is poured out^[e] on him;
    he will not rise again from where he lies.”
⁹Even my ^(G)close friend in whom I trusted,
    who ^(H)ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
¹⁰But you, O Lord, be gracious to me,
    and raise me up, that I may repay them!

¹¹By this I know that ^(I)you delight in me:
my enemy will not shout in triumph over me.
¹²But ^(J)you have upheld me because of ^(K)my integrity,
and ^(L)set me in your presence ^(M)forever.

¹³^(N)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.

English Standard Version

¹⁸^(A)I am not speaking of all of you; I know ^(B)whom I have chosen. But ^(C)the Scripture will be fulfilled,^[a] ^(D)‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ ¹⁹^(E)I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. ²⁰Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(F)whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

One of You Will Betray Me

²¹After saying these things, ^(G)Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, ^(H)“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(I)one of you will betray me.” ²²^(J)The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. ²³^(K)One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table ^(L)at Jesus' side,^[b] ²⁴so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus^[c] of whom he was speaking. ²⁵^(M)So that disciple, ^(N)leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” ²⁶Jesus answered, ^(O)“It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread ^(P)when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, ^(Q)he gave it to Judas, ^(R)the son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷Then after he had taken the morsel, ^(S)Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, ^(T)“What you are going to do, do quickly.” ²⁸Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. ²⁹Some thought that, ^(U)because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need ^(V)for the feast,” or that he should ^(W)give something to the poor. ³⁰So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. ^(X)And it was night.
