Strongs On/Off
Context
41:2 May the Lord protect him and save his life ! May he be blessed in the land ! Do not turn him over to his enemies !
41:3 The Lord supports him on his sickbed ; you completely heal him from his illness .
41:4 As for me, I said : “O Lord , have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you!
41:5 My enemies ask this cruel question about me, ‘When will he finally die and be forgotten ?’
41:6 When someone comes to visit , he pretends to be friendly ; he thinks of ways to defame me, and when he leaves he slanders me .
41:7 All who hate me whisper insults about me to one another ; they plan ways to harm me.
41:8 They say, ‘An awful disease overwhelms him, and now that he is bed-ridden he will never recover .’
41:9 Even my close friend whom I trusted , he who shared meals with me, has turned against me.
41:10 As for you , O Lord , have mercy on me and raise me up , so I can pay them back!”
41:11 By this I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
41:12 As for me , you uphold me because of my integrity ; you allow me permanent access to your presence .
41:13 The Lord God of Israel deserves praise in the future and forevermore ! We agree ! We agree !
