Psalms 41:1-5

¹For the leader; for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. Happy are those who consider the weak; in the day of misfortune the Lord will deliver them.

²He will keep them safe, happy, and long in the land, and not give them up to the rage of their foes.

³The Lord will sustain them on bed of languishing; tending their sickness, as long as they lie.

⁴For this cause I say, “Lord, show me your favor; heal me, because I have sinned against you.”

⁵My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, “When will he die, and his name pass away?”
