For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil. (MT 41:2; LXX 40:1; LXX 40:2; Rahlfs 40:1; Rahlfs 40:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies. (MT 41:3; LXX 40:3; Rahlfs 40:3)
אַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּי֥וֹם רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהוָֽה׃
3Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness. (MT 41:4; LXX 40:4; Rahlfs 40:4)
יְהוָ֤ה ׀ יִשְׁמְרֵ֣הוּ וִֽ֭יחַיֵּהוּ יאשר בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּ֝תְּנֵ֗הוּ בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃
4I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on 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 speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?” (MT 41:6; LXX 40:6; Rahlfs 40:6)
אֲֽנִי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי יְהוָ֣ה חָנֵּ֑נִי רְפָאָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י כִּי־חָטָ֥אתִי לָֽךְ׃
6If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it. (MT 41:7; LXX 40:7; Rahlfs 40:7)
אוֹיְבַ֗י יֹאמְר֣וּ רַ֣ע לִ֑י מָתַ֥י יָ֝מ֗וּת וְאָבַ֥ד שְׁמֽוֹ׃
7All who hate me whisper together 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“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.” (MT 41:9; LXX 40:9; Rahlfs 40:9)
יַ֗חַד עָלַ֣י יִ֭תְלַחֲשׁוּ כָּל־שֹׂנְאָ֑י עָלַ֓י ׀ יַחְשְׁב֖וּ רָעָ֣ה לִֽי׃
9Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, 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, Yahweh, have mercy on 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, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me. (MT 41:12; LXX 40:12; Rahlfs 40:12)
וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה חָנֵּ֥נִי וַהֲקִימֵ֑נִי וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָ֥ה לָהֶֽם׃
12As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, 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 Yahweh, the 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׃
