Psalm 41:1-3 Part 2 of 2

Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. The LORD protects and preserves them--they are counted among the blessed in the land--he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness. 

and preserves them

Psalm 71:20  Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.

they are counted among the blessed in the land

he does not give them over to the desire of their foes

and restores them from their bed of illness
2 Samuel 13:5  "Go to bed and pretend to be ill," Jonadab said. "When your father comes to see you, say to him, 'I would like my sister Tamar to come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare the food in my sight so I may watch her and then eat it from her hand.' "
2 Kings 1:4 "Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'You will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!' " So Elijah went.
