Psalms 41:1-4

¹Yahweh is pleased with those people who help to provide for the poor; he will rescue those people when they have troubles.

²Yahweh protects them and allows them to live for a long time. He enables them to be happy in the land of Israel, and rescues them from their enemies.

³When they are sick, Yahweh strengthens them, and he heals them.

⁴When I was sick, I said, “Yahweh, be merciful to me and heal me; I know that I am sick because I have sinned against you.”
