Psalms 41:1

The Blessing and Suffering of the Godly

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 Blessed is he who considers the¹ 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;
^aYou will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

3 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
You will¹ sustain him on his sickbed.

4 I said, “Lord, be merciful to me;
^aHeal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

5 My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
