41:2 Blessed is he who has concern for the weak; in time of trouble the Lord will deliver him.
41:3 The Lord will protect him and keep him alive; he will make him happy on earth and not abandon him to the will of his enemies.
41:4 The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and bring him back to health.
41:5 Once I prayed, “O Lord, have mercy on me; heal me, for I have sinned against you.
41:6 In their malice my enemies say of me, ‘When will he die and his name be forgotten?’
41:7 When someone comes to visit me, he utters words without sincerity; his heart harbors slander, and on departing he gives voice to it.
41:8 “All my enemies whisper against me and conjure up the worst in my regard.
41:9 ‘He has a fatal disease,’ they say; ‘he will never rise up from his sickbed.’
41:10 “Even my friend whom I trusted, the one who dined at my table, has risen up against me.
41:11 But you, O Lord, be merciful to me; make me well so that I may pay them back.”
41:12 By this I know that you are pleased with me— that my enemy fails to triumph over me.
41:13 Because of my innocence you uphold me and let me stand in your presence forever.
