A Prayer in Time of Sickness

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

41 ·Happy [Blessed] are those who ·think about [or care for] the poor [James 1:27].
    ·When trouble comes [L In the day of trouble/evil], the Lord will ·save [rescue; T deliver] them.
The Lord will ·protect [guard; keep] them and ·spare their life [keep them alive]
    and will ·bless them [make them happy] in the land.
    He will not ·let their enemies take them [L give their lives to their enemy; or give them over to the desire of their enemy].
The Lord will give them strength when they are ·sick [L on their sickbed],
    and he will ·make them well again [L restore them from their bed of illness].
