< Psalms 41 >

1 Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ אַשְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּיל אֶל־דָּל בְּיוֹם רָעָה יְֽמַלְּטֵהוּ יְהוָֽה׃
2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed on the earth: and you will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
יְהוָה ׀ יִשְׁמְרֵהוּ וִֽיחַיֵּהוּ יאשר וְאֻשַּׁר בָּאָרֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּתְּנֵהוּ בְּנֶפֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃
3 The LORD will strengthen him on the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness.
יְֽהוָה יִסְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶרֶשׂ דְּוָי כָּל־מִשְׁכָּבוֹ הָפַכְתָּ בְחָלְיֽוֹ׃
4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.
אֲ‍ֽנִי־אָמַרְתִּי יְהוָה חָנֵּנִי רְפָאָה נַפְשִׁי כִּי־חָטָאתִי לָֽךְ׃
5 My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
אוֹיְבַי יֹאמְרוּ רַע לִי מָתַי יָמוּת וְאָבַד שְׁמֽוֹ׃
6 And if he come to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.
וְאִם־בָּא לִרְאוֹת ׀ שָׁוְא יְדַבֵּר לִבּוֹ יִקְבָּץ־אָוֶן לוֹ יֵצֵא לַחוּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃
7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
יַחַד עָלַי יִתְלַחֲשׁוּ כָּל־שֹׂנְאָי עָלַי ׀ יַחְשְׁבוּ רָעָה לִֽי׃
8 An evil disease, say they, sticks fast to him: and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.
דְּֽבַר־בְּלִיַּעַל יָצוּק בּוֹ וַאֲשֶׁר שָׁכַב לֹא־יוֹסִיף לָקֽוּם׃
9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of 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 merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
וְאַתָּה יְהוָה חָנֵּנִי וַהֲקִימֵנִי וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָה לָהֶֽם׃
11 By this I know that you favor me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.
בְּזֹאת יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי־חָפַצְתָּ בִּי כִּי לֹֽא־יָרִיעַ אֹיְבִי עָלָֽי׃
12 And as for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me before your face for ever.
וַאֲנִי בְּתֻמִּי תָּמַכְתָּ בִּי וַתַּצִּיבֵנִי לְפָנֶיךָ לְעוֹלָֽם׃
13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה ׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵֽהָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעוֹלָם אָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃
