CHAP. XLI.
1 Gods care of the poore. 4 Dauid complaineth of his enemies trecherie. 10 He flyeth to God for succour.
1 [To the chiefe Musician. A Psalme of Dauid.] Blessed is he that considereth the poore; the Lord will deliuer him in time of trouble.1
2 The Lord will preserue him, and keepe him aliue, and he shall be blessed vpon the earth; and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto the will of his enemies.2
3 The Lord will strengthen him vpon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sicknesse.3
4 I sayd, Lord be mercifull vnto me, heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.
5 Mine enemies speake euill of me: when shall hee die, and his name perish?
7 All that hate me, whisper together against me; against me doe they deuise my hurt.7
8 An euill disease, say they, cleaueth fast vnto him; and now that he lyeth, he shall rise vp no more.8
9 Yea mine owne familiar friend in whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lift vp his heele against me.9
10 But thou, O Lord, be mercifull vnto mee, and raise me vp that I may requite them.
11 By this I know that thou fauourest me: because mine enemie doeth not triumph ouer me.
12 And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie; and settest me before thy face for euer.
13 Blessed bee the Lord God of Israel, from euerlasting, and to euerlasting. Amen, and Amen.
