< Psalms 41 >
1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. How blessed! [is one who] considers [the] poor in a day of trouble he will deliver him Yahweh.
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:
2 Yahweh - he will keep him and he will preserve alive him (and he will be called blessed *Q(K)*) in the land and may not you give him in [the] desire of enemies his.
Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!
3 Yahweh he will sustain him on a couch of illness all bed his you have changed in sickness his.
Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.
4 I I said O Yahweh show favor to me heal! self my for I have sinned to you.
I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:
5 Enemies my they speak evil of me when? will he die and will it perish? name his.
Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
6 And if someone came to see - falsehood it speaks heart his it gathers wickedness for itself he goes out to the outside he speaks.
And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.
7 Together on me they whisper to one another all [those who] hate me on me - they plot trouble for me.
Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.
8 A thing of worthlessness [has been] poured out on him and [the one] who he lay down not he will repeat to rise.
An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.
9 Also a person of peace my - whom I trusted in him [who] ate food my he has made great on me a heel.
Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified his heel against me!
10 And you O Yahweh show favor to me and raise up me so let me repay to them.
But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.
11 By this I know that you delight in me that not he shouts in triumph enemy my over me.
Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.
12 And I in integrity my you have supported me and you have set me before you for ever.
But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.
13 [be] blessed Yahweh - [the] God of Israel from antiquity and until perpetuity amen - and amen.
Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
