Verse 4 is found in chapter 41 of Psalms. Psalm 41 connects care for the poor with experiences of illness, betrayal, and restoration. The opening affirms the blessing of the one who considers the weak, while the center describes a situation in which even a close friend turns against the psalmist. The request for mercy and healing culminates in a doxology that closes the first book of the Psalter and returns attention to the eternity of God.
