PSALM 41

Blessed is the one who considers the poor!
In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;
he is called blessed in the land;
you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
The Lord sustains him on his sickbed;
in his illness you restore him to full health.

As for me, I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me;
heal me, for I have sinned against you!”
My enemies say of me in malice,
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words,
while his heart gathers iniquity;
when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
All who hate me whisper together about me;
they imagine the worst for me.

They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him;
he will not rise again from where he lies.”
Even my close friend in whom I trusted,
who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
But you, O Lord, be gracious to me,
and raise me up, that I may repay them!

By this I know that you delight in me:
my enemy will not shout in triumph over me.
But you have upheld me because of my integrity,
and set me in your presence forever.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.

March 28, 2026, was a joyous day at Immanuel Lutheran Church, East Dundee, Ill., as a mother and baby from nearby Redeeming Life Outreach Ministries’ maternity home were welcomed into God’s family through the waters of Holy Baptism.

The mother, who is from a Buddhist background, came to Redeeming Life last summer with little familiarity with Christianity. But through the love and care she received from maternity home staff, volunteers, and the pastors and members of Immanuel, she soon began to enjoy attending church — a requirement of the program — and became interested in learning more about what Lutherans believe.
