1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 God's care for the poor. 4 David complaineth of his enemies' treachery. 10 He fleeth to God for succour.

41:1 ¶ To 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.

41:2 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

41:3 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

41:4 I—I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

41:5 Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth—his name hath perished!

41:6 And if he came to see—vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out—at the street he speaketh.

41:7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

41:8 A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.

41:9 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,

41:10 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.

41:11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

41:12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

41:13 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age—and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
