A Prayer in Time of Sickness

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

41 Happy are those who think about the poor.
    When trouble comes, the Lord will save them.
The Lord will protect them and spare their life
    and will bless them in the land.
    He will not let their enemies take them.
The Lord will give them strength when they are sick,
    and he will make them well again.
