Psalms 41:1-5

1Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;

2the Lord protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.

3The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.

4As for me, I said, "O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!"

5My enemies say of me in malice, "When will he die, and his name perish?"
