Psalms 41:1-6

¹For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Blessed is he who is concerned for the weak; in the day of trouble, Yahweh will rescue him.

²Yahweh will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will of his enemies.

³Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.

⁴I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

⁵My enemies speak evil against me, saying, 'When will he die and his name perish?'

⁶If my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about it.
