For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the Lord will deliver him in the day of trouble. (MT 41:2; LXX 40:1; LXX 40:2; Rahlfs 40:1; Rahlfs 40:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2The Lord will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to give him over to the will of his foes. (MT 41:3; LXX 40:3; Rahlfs 40:3)
אַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּי֥וֹם רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהוָֽה׃
3The Lord will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness. (MT 41:4; LXX 40:4; Rahlfs 40:4)
יְהוָ֤ה ׀ יִשְׁמְרֵ֣הוּ וִֽ֭יחַיֵּהוּ יאשר בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּ֝תְּנֵ֗הוּ בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃
4I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.” (MT 41:5; LXX 40:5; Rahlfs 40:5)
יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶ֣רֶשׂ דְּוָ֑י כָּל־מִ֝שְׁכָּב֗וֹ הָפַ֥כְתָּ בְחָלְיֽוֹ׃
5My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?” (MT 41:6; LXX 40:6; Rahlfs 40:6)
אֲֽנִי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי יְהוָ֣ה חָנֵּ֑נִי רְפָאָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י כִּי־חָטָ֥אתִי לָֽךְ׃
6My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad. (MT 41:7; LXX 40:7; Rahlfs 40:7)
אוֹיְבַ֗י יֹאמְר֣וּ רַ֣ע לִ֑י מָתַ֥י יָ֝מ֗וּת וְאָבַ֥ד שְׁמֽוֹ׃
7All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me: (MT 41:8; LXX 40:8; Rahlfs 40:8)
וְאִם־בָּ֤א לִרְא֨וֹת ׀ שָׁ֤וְא יְדַבֵּ֗ר לִבּ֗וֹ יִקְבָּץ־אָ֥וֶן ל֑וֹ יֵצֵ֖א לַח֣וּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃
8“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!” (MT 41:9; LXX 40:9; Rahlfs 40:9)
יַ֗חַד עָלַ֣י יִ֭תְלַחֲשׁוּ כָּל־שֹׂנְאָ֑י עָלַ֓י ׀ יַחְשְׁב֖וּ רָעָ֣ה לִֽי׃
9Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. (MT 41:10; LXX 40:10; Rahlfs 40:10)
דְּֽבַר־בְּ֭לִיַּעַל יָצ֣וּק בּ֑וֹ וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁ֝כַ֗ב לֹא־יוֹסִ֥יף לָקֽוּם׃
10But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them. (MT 41:11; LXX 40:11; Rahlfs 40:11)
גַּם־אִ֤ישׁ שְׁלוֹמִ֨י ׀ אֲשֶׁר־בָּטַ֣חְתִּי ב֭וֹ אוֹכֵ֣ל לַחְמִ֑י הִגְדִּ֖יל עָלַ֣י עָקֵֽב׃
11By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me. (MT 41:12; LXX 40:12; Rahlfs 40:12)
וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה חָנֵּ֥נִי וַהֲקִימֵ֑נִי וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָ֥ה לָהֶֽם׃
12In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever. (MT 41:13; LXX 40:13; Rahlfs 40:13)
בְּזֹ֣את יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּֽי־חָפַ֣צְתָּ בִּ֑י כִּ֤י לֹֽא־יָרִ֖יעַ אֹיְבִ֣י עָלָֽי׃
13Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen. (MT 41:14; LXX 40:14; Rahlfs 40:14)
וַאֲנִ֗י בְּ֭תֻמִּי תָּמַ֣כְתָּ בִּ֑י וַתַּצִּיבֵ֖נִי לְפָנֶ֣יךָ לְעוֹלָֽם׃
