Psalms 41:1-6

¹To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.

²Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

³Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

⁴I — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

⁵Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!

⁶And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
