תהילים 41

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ אַשְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּיל אֶל־דָּל בְּיוֹם רָעָה יְֽמַלְּטֵהוּ יְהֹוָֽה׃

Yahweh is pleased with those people who help to provide for the poor; he will rescue those people when they have troubles.

2 יְהֹוָה ׀ יִשְׁמְרֵהוּ וִיחַיֵּהוּ (יאשר) [וְאֻשַּׁר] בָּאָרֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּתְּנֵהוּ בְּנֶפֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃

Yahweh protects them and allows them to live [for a long time]. He enables them to be happy in the land [of Israel], and rescues them from their enemies.

3 יְֽהֹוָה יִסְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶרֶשׂ דְּוָי כׇּל־מִשְׁכָּבוֹ הָפַכְתָּ בְחׇלְיֽוֹ׃

When they are sick, Yahweh strengthens them, and he heals them.

4 אֲֽנִי־אָמַרְתִּי יְהֹוָה חׇנֵּנִי רְפָאָה נַפְשִׁי כִּֽי־חָטָאתִי לָֽךְ׃

[When I was sick], I said, “Yahweh, be merciful to me and heal me; [I know that I am sick because] I have sinned against you.”

5 אוֹיְבַי יֹאמְרוּ רַע לִי מָתַי יָמוּת וְאָבַד שְׁמֽוֹ׃

My enemies say cruel things about me; they say, “How soon will he die, and then everyone will forget about him [MTY]? (OR, he will not have [any descendants to continue] his name).”

6 וְאִם־בָּא לִרְאוֹת ׀ שָׁוְא יְדַבֵּר לִבּוֹ יִקְבׇּץ־אָוֶן לוֹ יֵצֵא לַחוּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃

When my enemies come to me, they falsely say that they [are concerned about me]. They listen to bad news about (me/my health). Then they go away and tell everywhere what is happening to me.

7 יַחַד עָלַי יִתְלַחֲשׁוּ כׇּל־שֹׂנְאָי עָלַי ׀ יַחְשְׁבוּ רָעָה לִֽי׃

All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope/desire that very bad things will happen to me.

8 דְּֽבַר־בְּלִיַּעַל יָצוּק בּוֹ וַאֲשֶׁר שָׁכַב לֹא־יוֹסִיף לָקֽוּם׃

They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed [before he dies].”

9 גַּם־אִישׁ שְׁלוֹמִי ׀ אֲשֶׁר־בָּטַחְתִּי בוֹ אוֹכֵל לַחְמִי הִגְדִּיל עָלַי עָקֵֽב׃

Even my best friend, whom I trusted very much, who [often] ate with me, has (betrayed me/put me into my enemies’ hands) [IDM].

10 וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה חׇנֵּנִי וַהֲקִימֵנִי וַאֲשַׁלְּמָה לָהֶֽם׃

But Yahweh, be merciful to me, and enable me to become healthy [again]. When you do that, I will be able to (pay back my enemies/get revenge on my enemies/cause my enemies to suffer like they caused me to suffer).

11 בְּזֹאת יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי־חָפַצְתָּ בִּי כִּי לֹֽא־יָרִיעַ אֹיְבִי עָלָֽי׃

[If you enable me to] do that, with the result that my enemies do not defeat me, I will know that you are pleased with me.

12 וַאֲנִי בְּתֻמִּי תָּמַכְתָּ בִּי וַתַּצִּיבֵנִי לְפָנֶיךָ לְעוֹלָֽם׃

[I will know that] it is because I have done what is right that you have helped me, and [I will know that] you will let me be with you forever.

13 בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה ׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵֽהָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעוֹלָם אָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃

Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship]; Praise him forever! Amen! I desire that it will be so!
