Psalm 41
41:1 For the music director ; a psalm of David . How blessed is the one who treats the poor properly ! When trouble comes , the Lord delivers him.
41:2 May the Lord protect him and save his life ! May he be blessed in the land ! Do not turn him over to his enemies !
41:3 The Lord supports him on his sickbed ; you completely heal him from his illness .
41:4 As for me, I said : “O Lord , have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you!
41:5 My enemies ask this cruel question about me, ‘When will he finally die and be forgotten ?’
