Psalm 41 Prayed
Praying
for strength in sickness
O Lord, you have promised to
bless those
who
have regard for the weak;
to
deliver them in times of trouble.
You said that you will protect
them
and
preserve their life;
you
will bless them in this life.
Do not surrender me
to
the desire of my spiritual foes.
Sustain me on my sickbed
and
restore me from my bed of illness.
You have promised that the
prayer offered in faith
will
make the sick person well;
O Lord, raise me up again.
O Lord, have mercy on me; please heal me.
If
I have sinned against you, forgive me.
My spiritual enemies say
of me in malice,
“When
will you die and your name perish?”
Whenever one of Satan's
messengers comes
to
see me,
my
doubts speak falsely, while his heart
gathers
slander;
then
he goes out and spreads it abroad.
All my spiritual enemies
whisper together
against
me;
they
imagine the worst for me, saying,
“A vile disease has beset you;
you
will never get up from the place
where
you lie.”
O Jesus, you know my suffering,
for even your close
friend, whom you trusted,
he
who shared your bread,
lifted
up his heel against you.
For it was just before the
Passover Feast,
when
you knew that one of your disciples
was
going to betray you.
You even told John and
Simon Peter
who
would betray you;
“It is the one to whom I will
give this piece of
bread
when
I have dipped it in the dish.”
Then, dipping the piece of
bread,
you
gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.
But you, O Lord Jesus, have
mercy on me;
raise
me up, that I may repay these doubts.
I know that you are pleased
with me,
for
my enemy the devil does not triumph
over
me.
In my integrity you uphold me
and
set me in your presence forever.
Thanks be to you, O God!
You
give me the victory
through
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise be to the Lord Jesus,
the God of the Church,
from
everlasting to everlasting.
Amen
and Amen.
