A Prayer in Time of Sickness

For the director of music. A song of David.

41 Happy is the person who thinks about the poor.
    When trouble comes, the Lord will save him.
The Lord will protect him and spare his life.
    The Lord will bless him in the land.
    The Lord will not let his enemies take him.
The Lord will give him strength when he is sick.
    The Lord will make him well again.
