Song 41 To forever, a song: by David 1Happy is the giving one 1Instructing those with less or none. 1Jehovah will protect and save 1When in distress the one who gave. 2Jehovah makes a hedge for him 2He gives him vigour, gives him vim. 2He lets him prosper in his field 2No hated heart can make him yield. 3And be he well or be he ill 3Jehovah dare support him will. 3But through the thin and through the thick 3His bed he turns when he is sick. 4I said, Jehovah, see me pray 4Amend my soul-- I've gone astray. 5My enemies have done me wrong. 5Say they, he's dead, he won't last long. 6And though one comes to see me still 6His heart it just rehearses ill. 6He gathers more than what he tries 6And then goes out to spout his lies. 7And those that hate me whisper all 7As they conspire to plot my fall. 8An evil sickness, they deplore: 8``When he lies down he'll rise no more.'' 9And yes, my own beloved friend 9In whom I trusted to the end 9He ate my bread I this confide 9He's turned against me now in pride. 10But you, Jehovah, kindly bend 10Bestow a favour on a friend 10And strengthen me for my attack 10That I may rise to pay them back. 11I know you do delight in me 11My foes have lost, it's plain to see. 12And as for me you hold a place 12To stand me ever toward your face. 13Now to Jehovah greatness due 13In Israel forever true. 13For truly ever God is he 13And truly ever will he be. © 2003-2005 Ward Green.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Psalms 41 1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil. Psalms 41 2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies. Psalms 41 3 Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness. Psalms 41 4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Psalms 41 5 Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying], When will he die, and his name perish? Psalms 41 6 And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it. Psalms 41 7 All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt. Psalms 41 8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. Psalms 41 9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me. Psalms 41 10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them. Psalms 41 11 By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. Psalms 41 12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever. Psalms 41 13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. |
