תְהִלִּים 41

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

BLESSED is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

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

The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

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

The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

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

I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5 אֹויְבַ֗י יֹאמְר֣וּ רַ֣ע לִ֑י מָתַ֥י יָ֝מ֗וּת וְאָבַ֥ד שְׁמֹֽו׃

Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

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

And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

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

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

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

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

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

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

10 וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה חָנֵּ֥נִי וַהֲקִימֵ֑נִי וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָ֥ה לָהֶֽם׃

But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

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

By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 וַאֲנִ֗י בְּ֭תֻמִּי תָּמַ֣כְתָּ בִּ֑י וַתַּצִּיבֵ֖נִי לְפָנֶ֣יךָ לְעֹולָֽם׃

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

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

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
