Psalms 41

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.

١ لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ طُوبَى لِلَّذِي يَنْظُرُ إِلَى ٱلْمِسْكِينِ. فِي يَوْمِ ٱلشَّرِّ يُنَجِّيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ.

2 May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

٢ ٱلرَّبُّ يَحْفَظُهُ وَيُحْيِيهِ. يَغْتَبِطُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا يُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَى مَرَامِ أَعْدَائِهِ.

3 May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; thou hast made all his bed in his sickness.

٣ ٱلرَّبُّ يَعْضُدُهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ ٱلضُّعْفِ. مَهَّدْتَ مَضْجَعَهُ كُلَّهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ.

4 I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

٤ أَنَا قُلْتُ: «يَارَبُّ ٱرْحَمْنِي. ٱشْفِ نَفْسِي لِأَنِّي قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ».

5 Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?

٥ أَعْدَائِي يَتَقَاوَلُونَ عَلَيَّ بِشَرٍّ: «مَتَى يَمُوتُ وَيَبِيدُ ٱسْمُهُ؟»

6 And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

٦ وَإِنْ دَخَلَ لِيَرَانِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. قَلْبُهُ يَجْمَعُ لِنَفْسِهِ إِثْمًا. يَخْرُجُ. فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ يَتَكَلَّمُ.

7 All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

٧ كُلُّ مُبْغِضِيَّ يَتَنَاجَوْنَ مَعًا عَلَيَّ. عَلَيَّ تَفَكَّرُوا بِأَذِيَّتِي.

8 They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

٨ يَقُولُونَ: «أَمْرٌ رَدِيءٌ قَدِ ٱنْسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ. حَيْثُ ٱضْطَجَعَ لَا يَعُودُ يَقُومُ».

9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me.

٩ أَيْضًا رَجُلُ سَلَامَتِي، ٱلَّذِي وَثِقْتُ بِهِ، آكِلُ خُبْزِي، رَفَعَ عَلَيَّ عَقِبَهُ!

10 But thou, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

١٠ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَٱرْحَمْنِي وَأَقِمْنِي، فَأُجَازِيَهُمْ.

11 By this I know that thou hast delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

١١ بِهَذَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ سُرِرْتَ بِي، أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْتِفْ عَلَيَّ عَدُوِّي.

12 But thou didst help me because of [mine] innocence, and hast established me before thee for ever.

١٢ أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكَمَالِي دَعَمْتَنِي، وَأَقَمْتَنِي قُدَّامَكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

13 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.

١٣ مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. آمِينَ فَآمِينَ.
