תְהִלִּים 41

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ אַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּיֹ֥ום רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהוָֽה׃

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.

2 יְהוָ֤ה ׀ יִשְׁמְרֵ֣הוּ וִֽ֭יחַיֵּהוּ יֶאְשֹּׁר (וְאֻשַּׁ֣ר) בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּ֝תְּנֵ֗הוּ בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃

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.

3 יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶ֣רֶשׂ דְּוָ֑י כָּל־מִ֝שְׁכָּבֹ֗ו הָפַ֥כְתָּ בְחָלְיֹֽו׃

May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; you have made all his bed in his sickness.

4 אֲ‍ֽנִי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי יְהוָ֣ה חָנֵּ֑נִי רְפָאָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י כִּי־חָטָ֥אתִי לָֽךְ׃

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

5 אֹויְבַ֗י יֹאמְר֣וּ רַ֣ע לִ֑י מָתַ֥י יָ֝מ֗וּת וְאָבַ֥ד שְׁמֹֽו׃

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

6 וְאִם־בָּ֤א לִרְאֹ֨ות ׀ שָׁ֤וְא יְדַבֵּ֗ר לִבֹּ֗ו יִקְבָּץ־אָ֥וֶן לֹ֑ו יֵצֵ֖א לַח֣וּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃

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

7 יַ֗חַד עָלַ֣י יִ֭תְלַחֲשׁוּ כָּל־שֹׂנְאָ֑י עָלַ֓י ׀ יַחְשְׁב֖וּ רָעָ֣ה לִֽי׃

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

8 דְּֽבַר־בְּ֭לִיַּעַל יָצ֣וּק בֹּ֑ו וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁ֝כַ֗ב לֹא־יֹוסִ֥יף לָקֽוּם׃

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

9 גַּם־אִ֤ישׁ שְׁלֹומִ֨י ׀ אֲשֶׁר־בָּטַ֣חְתִּי בֹ֖ו אֹוכֵ֣ל לַחְמִ֑י הִגְדִּ֖יל עָלַ֣י עָקֵֽב׃

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

10 וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה חָנֵּ֥נִי וַהֲקִימֵ֑נִי וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָ֥ה לָהֶֽם׃

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

11 בְּזֹ֣את יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּֽי־חָפַ֣צְתָּ בִּ֑י כִּ֤י לֹֽא־יָרִ֖יעַ אֹיְבִ֣י עָלָֽי׃

By this I know that you have delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

12 וַאֲנִ֗י בְּ֭תֻמִּי תָּמַ֣כְתָּ בִּ֑י וַתַּצִּיבֵ֖נִי לְפָנֶ֣יךָ לְעֹולָֽם׃

But you did help me because of [mine] innocence, and have established me before you for ever.

13 בָּ֘ר֤וּךְ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מֵֽ֭הָעֹולָם וְעַ֥ד הָעֹולָ֗ם אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃

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