Psalms 41:2-13

²Yahweh will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will of his enemies.

³Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.

⁴I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

⁵My enemies speak evil against me, saying, 'When will he die and his name perish?'

⁶If my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about it.

⁷All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they hope for my hurt.

⁸They say, “An evil disease holds on tightly to him; now that he is lying down, he will rise up no more.”

⁹Indeed, even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁰But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me and raise me up so that I may pay them back.

¹¹By this I know that you delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

¹²As for me, you support me in my integrity and will keep me before your face forever.

¹³May Yahweh, the God of Israel be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
