New International Reader's Version

Psalm 41:1-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Blessed is the one who cares about weak people. When he is in trouble, the Lord saves him.

2. The Lord will guard him and keep him alive. He will bless him in the land. He won't hand him over to the wishes of his enemies.

3. The Lord will take care of him when he is lying sick in bed. He will make him well again.

4. I said, "Lord, show me your favor. Heal me. I have sinned against you."

5. My enemies are saying bad things about me. They say, "When will he die and be forgotten?"

6. When anyone comes to see me, he says things he doesn't mean. At the same time, he thinks up lies to tell against me. Then he goes out and spreads those lies around.
