Psalm 41
41
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth:
And thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
Thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4I said, LORD, be merciful unto me:
Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5Mine enemies speak evil of me,
When shall he die, and his name perish?
6And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity:
His heart gathereth iniquity to itself; When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7All that hate me whisper together against me:
Against me do they devise my hurt.
8An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him:
And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
Which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me,
And raise me up, that I may requite them.
11By this I know that thou favourest me,
Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
And settest me before thy face for ever.
13Blessed be the LORD God of Israel
From everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

A Prayer in Time of Sickness
For the director of music. A song of David.
1Happy is the person who thinks about the poor.
When trouble comes, the Lord will save him.
2The Lord will protect him and spare his life.
The Lord will bless him in the land.
The Lord will not let his enemies take him.
3The Lord will give him strength when he is sick.
The Lord will make him well again.
4I said, “Lord, be kind to me.
Heal me because I have sinned against you.”
5My enemies are saying bad things about me.
They say, “When will he die and be forgotten?”
6Some people come to see me.
But they lie.
They just come to get bad news.
Then they go and gossip.
7All my enemies whisper about me.
They think the worst about me.
8They say, “He has a terrible disease.
He will never get out of bed again.”
9My best and truest friend ate at my table.
Now even he has turned against me.
10Lord, have mercy on me.
Give me strength so I can pay them back.
11My enemies do not defeat me.
That’s how I know you are pleased with me.
12Because I am innocent, you support me.
You will let me be with you forever.
13Praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
He has always been,
and he will always be.
