Psalms 41:1-13

By the prophetic Spirit, Christ declared at the end of Psalms 40:1-17, "But I am poor and needy". Voluntary poverty, intended to enrich us! (2 Corinthians 8:9). Blessed then is the one who considers this poor Man! But blessed also is the one who knows how to identify with all the poor, the humble and with those who suffer. And blessed is he who, in spirit if not in fact, takes like his Master this position of being poor! (Matthew 5:3).

What encouragement v. 3 brings to the sick believer! In the first place the promise of divine help! Even if the outward man perish, the inward man is renewed day by day under the care of the great Physician of souls (2 Corinthians 4:16). Furthermore, the "bed of languishing" of the sick believer is to find itself miraculously transformed. For the presence of the Lord at the believer’s bedside has the power to change his suffering into joy. Sweet companionship, fit to make him forget the lack of understanding or the indifference of which he may have been the object (v. 8)!

We know just when it was that v. 9 took place. With what sadness the Lord must have quoted it, before giving the traitor Judas the morsel, which caused him to be recognised (John 13:18; John 13:26).

The first book of Psalms concludes with everlasting praise to which, fellow believers, we can all add our Amen!
