Psalms 41:1-4
11If someone is kind to poor people, God blesses him. When he is in trouble, the Lord rescues him.
2The Lord keeps him safe. The Lord saves his life! God causes him to be happy here in the land where he lives. The Lord will not put him under the power of his enemies.
3The Lord takes care of him when he is ill in bed. Whenever he is ill, you will make him completely well again.
4I said, ‘Lord be kind to me and forgive me. I have done wrong things against you, but please make me well again.’
Notes
- 1. Psalms 41:1 David wrote this psalm when he was ill. He says he was ill because he had not obeyed God's Law. When David was ill, many people came to visit him. David thought that they were his friends, but they were not. They wanted him to die so that there would be a new king. One of David's visitors was his best friend, but he was not kind to David. ↩
