Psalms 41

The Blessing and Suffering of the Godly

1 Blessed is he who considers the poor;

The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

2 The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,

And he will be blessed on the earth;

*Ps. 27:12You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

3 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;

You will sustain him on his sickbed.
