New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Psalm 41
1 How blessed is he who considers the helpless; The Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble.
2 The Lord will protect him and keep him alive, And he shall be called blessed upon the earth; And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies.
3 The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health.
4 As for me, I said, "O Lord, be gracious to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You."
5 My enemies speak evil against me, "When will he die, and his name perish?"
6 And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; When he goes outside, he tells it.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they devise my hurt, saying,
8 "A wicked thing is poured out upon him, That when he lies down, he will not rise up again."
9 Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.
10 But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up, That I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You are pleased with me, Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.
