Psalm 41

For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.

Blessed are those who consider the poor;
    the Lord will deliver them in the day of trouble.
The Lord will preserve them and keep them alive,
    and they will be blessed on the earth,
    and You will not deliver them to the will of their enemies.
The Lord will sustain them on the sickbed;
    You will restore all his lying down in his illness.
