40:1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.

40:2 Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor : the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

40:3 The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth : and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

40:4 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow : thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.

40:5 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me : heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

40:6 My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?

40:7 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things : his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.

40:8 All my enemies whispered together against me : they devised evils to me.

40:9 They determined against me an unjust word : shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

40:10 For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.

40:11 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again : and I will requite them.

40:12 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me : because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

40:13 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence : and hast established me in thy sight for ever.

40:14 Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
