Psalter number 113. The Friend of the Poor - Psalm 41

 

1. How blest the man who thoughtfully
The poor and weak befriends;
Deliverance in the evil day
To him Jehovah sends.

2. The Lord will keep him, guard his life,
On earth he shall be blest;
The Lord will not surrender him
By foes to be distressed.
 

3. Upon the bed of suffering
Jehovah will sustain,
And in his sickness God will soothe
The weariness and pain.

4. O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends,
Let me Thy mercy see;
Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned,
I have offended Thee.

12. Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God
For evermore.  Amen.
Let age to age eternally
Repeat His praise.  Amen.
