Psalms 41 תְּהִלִּים

¹לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

lamnatzeach mizmor ledavid

1For the Leader. A Psalm of David.

²אַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּי֥וֹם רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהוָֽה׃

ashre maskil el-dal beyom ra'a yemalletehu ADONAI

2Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

³יְהוָ֤ה ׀ יִשְׁמְרֵ֣הוּ וִֽ֭יחַיֵּהוּ יאשר [וְאֻשַּׁ֣ר] בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּ֝תְּנֵ֗הוּ בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃

ADONAI yishmerehu vichayyehu ve'ushar ba'aretz ve'al-tittenehu benefesh oyvav

3The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.

⁴יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶ֣רֶשׂ דְּוָ֑י כָּל־מִ֝שְׁכָּב֗וֹ הָפַ֥כְתָּ בְחָלְיֽוֹ׃

ADONAI yis'adennu al-eres devay kal-mishkavo hafakhta vechalyo

4The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.

⁵אֲֽנִי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי יְהוָ֣ה חָנֵּ֑נִי רְפָאָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י כִּי־חָטָ֥אתִי לָֽךְ׃

ani-amarti ADONAI channeni refa'a nafshi ki-chatati lakh

5As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'

⁶אוֹיְבַ֗י יֹאמְר֣וּ רַ֣ע לִ֑י מָתַ֥י יָ֝מ֗וּת וְאָבַ֥ד שְׁמֽוֹ׃

oyvay yomru ra' li matay yamut ve'avad shemo

6Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'

⁷וְאִם־בָּ֤א לִרְא֨וֹת ׀ שָׁ֤וְא יְדַבֵּ֗ר לִבּ֗וֹ יִקְבָּץ־אָ֥וֶן ל֑וֹ יֵצֵ֖א לַח֣וּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃

ve'im-ba lirot shav yedabber libbo yikbatz-aven lo yetze lachutz yedabber

7And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.

⁸יַ֗חַד עָלַ֣י יִ֭תְלַחֲשׁוּ כָּל־שֹׂנְאָ֑י עָלַ֓י ׀ יַחְשְׁב֖וּ רָעָ֣ה לִֽי׃

yachad alay yitlachashu kal-son'ay alay yachshevu ra'a li

8All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:

⁹דְּֽבַר־בְּ֭לִיַּעַל יָצ֣וּק בּ֑וֹ וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁ֝כַ֗ב לֹא־יוֹסִ֥יף לָקֽוּם׃

devar-beliyya'al yatzuk bo va'asher shakhav lo-yosif lakum

9'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'

¹⁰גַּם־אִ֤ישׁ שְׁלוֹמִ֨י ׀ אֲשֶׁר־בָּטַ֣חְתִּי ב֭וֹ אוֹכֵ֣ל לַחְמִ֑י הִגְדִּ֖יל עָלַ֣י עָקֵֽב׃

gam-ish shelomi asher-batachti vo okhel lachmi higdil alay akev

10Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

¹¹וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה חָנֵּ֥נִי וַהֲקִימֵ֑נִי וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָ֥ה לָהֶֽם׃

ve'atta ADONAI channeni vahakimeni va'ashallema lahem

11But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

¹²בְּזֹ֣את יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּֽי־חָפַ֣צְתָּ בִּ֑י כִּ֤י לֹֽא־יָרִ֖יעַ אֹיְבִ֣י עָלָֽי׃

bezot yada'ti ki-chafatzta bi ki lo-yaria oyvi alay

12By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

¹³וַאֲנִ֗י בְּ֭תֻמִּי תָּמַ֣כְתָּ בִּ֑י וַתַּצִּיבֵ֖נִי לְפָנֶ֣יךָ לְעוֹלָֽם׃

va'ani betummi tamakhta bi vattatziveni lefanekha le'olam

13And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.

¹⁴בָּ֘ר֤וּךְ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מֵֽ֭הָעוֹלָם וְעַ֥ד הָעוֹלָ֗ם אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃

barukh ADONAI elohe yisra'el meha'olam ve'ad ha'olam amen ve'amen

14Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
