Psalms 41
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ אַשְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּיל אֶל־דָּל בְּיוֹם רָעָה יְֽמַלְּטֵהוּ יְהוָֽה׃ |
2 The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.
| יְהוָה ׀ יִשְׁמְרֵהוּ וִֽיחַיֵּהוּ יאשר וְאֻשַּׁר בָּאָרֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּתְּנֵהוּ בְּנֶפֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃ |
3 The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.
| יְֽהוָה יִסְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶרֶשׂ דְּוָי כָּל־מִשְׁכָּבוֹ הָפַכְתָּ בְחָלְיֽוֹ׃ |
4 I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
| אֲֽנִי־אָמַרְתִּי יְהוָה חָנֵּנִי רְפָאָה נַפְשִׁי כִּי־חָטָאתִי לָֽךְ׃ |
5 My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
| אוֹיְבַי יֹאמְרוּ רַע לִי מָתַי יָמוּת וְאָבַד שְׁמֽוֹ׃ |
6 My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.
| וְאִם־בָּא לִרְאוֹת ׀ שָׁוְא יְדַבֵּר לִבּוֹ יִקְבָּץ־אָוֶן לוֹ יֵצֵא לַחוּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃ |
7 All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:
| יַחַד עָלַי יִתְלַחֲשׁוּ כָּל־שֹׂנְאָי עָלַי ׀ יַחְשְׁבוּ רָעָה לִֽי׃ |
8 “A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”
| דְּֽבַר־בְּלִיַּעַל יָצוּק בּוֹ וַאֲשֶׁר שָׁכַב לֹא־יוֹסִיף לָקֽוּם׃ |
9 Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
| גַּם־אִישׁ שְׁלוֹמִי ׀ אֲשֶׁר־בָּטַחְתִּי בוֹ אוֹכֵל לַחְמִי הִגְדִּיל עָלַי עָקֵֽב׃ |
10 But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.
| וְאַתָּה יְהוָה חָנֵּנִי וַהֲקִימֵנִי וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָה לָהֶֽם׃ |
11 By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
| בְּזֹאת יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי־חָפַצְתָּ בִּי כִּי לֹֽא־יָרִיעַ אֹיְבִי עָלָֽי׃ |
12 In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.
| וַאֲנִי בְּתֻמִּי תָּמַכְתָּ בִּי וַתַּצִּיבֵנִי לְפָנֶיךָ לְעוֹלָֽם׃ |
13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
| בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה ׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵֽהָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעוֹלָם אָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃ |
