Psalms 41 — TOJB
41(For the one directing, Mizmor of Dovid)2Blessed is he that considereth the helpless;
Hashem will deliver him in time of ra'ah (evil, trouble).
3Hashem will be shomer over him, and keep him alive;
and he shall be blessed in ha'aretz;
and Thou wilt not surrender him
unto the desire of his enemies.
4Hashem will support him upon the sickbed;
in his illness, all his bedridden languishing Thou wilt change.+5I said, Hashem, channeni (be gracious unto me);
heal my nefesh; for I have sinned against Thee.
6Mine enemies speak rah (evil) of me:
When will he die, and shmo (his name) perish?
7And if one cometh to see me, he speaketh falsely;
his lev gathereth wickedness to itself;
when he goeth lachutz (outside, around) he telleth it.
8All that hate me whisper together against me;
against me do they devise my hurt.9A thing of beliya'al (a wicked fate),+say they, cleaveth fast unto him,
that when he lieth he shall rise up no more.
10Yea, mine own ish shalom (familiar friend, close friend), in whom I trusted,
which did eat of my lechem, hath lifted up his heel+against me.+
11But Thou, O Hashem, channeni (be gracious, merciful unto me),
and raise me up, that I may repay them.12By this I know that Thou favorest me,
because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
13And as for me, Thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
and settest me before Thy face l'olam (forever).14Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel
m'haolam v'ad haolam.
Omein and Omein.
