16
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say
continually, The L
ORD
be magnified.
17
But I
am
poor and needy;
yet
the Lord thinketh upon me: thou
art
my help and my deliverer;
make no tarrying, O my God.
CHAPTER 41
Blessed
is
he that considereth the poor: the L
ORD
will deliver him in time of trouble.
2
The L
ORD
will preserve him, and keep him alive;
and
he shall be blessed upon the earth:
and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3
The L
ORD
will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in
his sickness.
4
I said, L
ORD
, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6
And if he come to see
me,
he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself;
when
he goeth abroad, he telleth
it.
7
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8
An evil disease,
say they,
cleaveth fast unto him: and
now
that he lieth he shall rise up no
more.
9
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted
up
his
heel against me.
10
But thou, O L
ORD
, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for
ever.
13
Blessed
be
the L
ORD
God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
CHAPTER 42
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2
My soul thirsteth
for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3
My tears have been my
meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where
is
thy God?
4
When I remember
these
things,
I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the
house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5
Why art thou
cast down, O my soul? and why
art
thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise
him
for
the help of his countenance.
6
O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will
I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
