The Visitation of the Sick

For the sick and captives.

They cried unto the Lord in their trouble: and he delivered them out of their distress [Psalm 107:6].

Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of all [Psalm 34:19].

The Lord keepeth all his bones: so that not one of them is broken [Psalm 34:20].
