engLXXup: Psalms 40

=> Chapters

 [1] For the end, a Psalm of David.

[2] Blessed is the man who thinks on the poor and needy:

The Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.

[3] May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth,

And not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

[4] May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain;

Thou hast made all his bed in his sickness.

[5] I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me;

Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

[6] Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, saying,

When shall he die, and his name perish?

[7] And if he came to see me, his heart spoke vainly;

He gathered iniquity to himself;

He went forth and spoke in like manner.

[8] All my enemies whispered against me;

Against me they devised my hurt.

[9] They denounced a wicked word against me, saying,

Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

[10] For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted,

Who ate my bread, lifted up his heel against me.

[11] But thou, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

[12] By this I know that thou hast delighted in me,

Because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

[13] But thou didst help me because of mine innocence,

And hast established me before thee forever.

[14] Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting.

So be it, so be it.
