To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. (MT 41:2; LXX 40:1; LXX 40:2; Rahlfs 40:1; Rahlfs 40:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2The 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. (MT 41:3; LXX 40:3; Rahlfs 40:3)
אַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּי֥וֹם רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהוָֽה׃
3The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. (MT 41:4; LXX 40:4; Rahlfs 40:4)
יְהוָ֤ה ׀ יִשְׁמְרֵ֣הוּ וִֽ֭יחַיֵּהוּ יאשר בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּ֝תְּנֵ֗הוּ בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃
4I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. (MT 41:5; LXX 40:5; Rahlfs 40:5)
יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶ֣רֶשׂ דְּוָ֑י כָּל־מִ֝שְׁכָּב֗וֹ הָפַ֥כְתָּ בְחָלְיֽוֹ׃
5Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? (MT 41:6; LXX 40:6; Rahlfs 40:6)
אֲֽנִי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי יְהוָ֣ה חָנֵּ֑נִי רְפָאָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י כִּי־חָטָ֥אתִי לָֽךְ׃
6And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. (MT 41:7; LXX 40:7; Rahlfs 40:7)
אוֹיְבַ֗י יֹאמְר֣וּ רַ֣ע לִ֑י מָתַ֥י יָ֝מ֗וּת וְאָבַ֥ד שְׁמֽוֹ׃
7All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. (MT 41:8; LXX 40:8; Rahlfs 40:8)
וְאִם־בָּ֤א לִרְא֨וֹת ׀ שָׁ֤וְא יְדַבֵּ֗ר לִבּ֗וֹ יִקְבָּץ־אָ֥וֶן ל֑וֹ יֵצֵ֖א לַח֣וּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃
8An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. (MT 41:9; LXX 40:9; Rahlfs 40:9)
יַ֗חַד עָלַ֣י יִ֭תְלַחֲשׁוּ כָּל־שֹׂנְאָ֑י עָלַ֓י ׀ יַחְשְׁב֖וּ רָעָ֣ה לִֽי׃
9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath 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 thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite 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 thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. (MT 41:12; LXX 40:12; Rahlfs 40:12)
וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה חָנֵּ֥נִי וַהֲקִימֵ֑נִי וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָ֥ה לָהֶֽם׃
12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. (MT 41:13; LXX 40:13; Rahlfs 40:13)
בְּזֹ֣את יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּֽי־חָפַ֣צְתָּ בִּ֑י כִּ֤י לֹֽא־יָרִ֖יעַ אֹיְבִ֣י עָלָֽי׃
13Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. (MT 41:14; LXX 40:14; Rahlfs 40:14)
וַאֲנִ֗י בְּ֭תֻמִּי תָּמַ֣כְתָּ בִּ֑י וַתַּצִּיבֵ֖נִי לְפָנֶ֣יךָ לְעוֹלָֽם׃
