The King James Version Bible

Psalms 41:3-10

  1. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

  2. I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

  3. Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

  4. And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

  5. All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

  6. An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

  7. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

  8. But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
