| The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000. | | The Psalms | | 41 |
A Prayer for Healing |
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. |
|
| 1 |
Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
| | |
the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. |
|
|
| 2 |
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive;
| | |
and he shall be blessed upon the earth: |
|
and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. |
|
|
| 3 |
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
| | |
thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. |
|
|
| 4 |
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul;
| | |
for I have sinned against thee. |
|
|
| 5 |
Mine enemies speak evil of me,
| | |
When shall he die, and his name perish? |
|
|
| 6 |
And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity:
| | |
his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; |
|
when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. |
|
|
| 7 |
All that hate me whisper together against me:
| | |
against me do they devise my hurt. |
|
|
| 8 |
An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him:
| | |
and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. |
|
|
| 9 |
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
|
| 10 |
But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me,
| | |
and raise me up, that I may requite them. |
|
|
| 11 |
By this I know that thou favorest me,
| | |
because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. |
|
|
| 12 |
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
| | |
and settest me before thy face for ever. |
|
|
| 13 |
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel
| | |
from everlasting, and to everlasting. Ps. 106.48 |
|
Amen, and Amen. |
