Psalm 41 - World English Bible with Hebrew

1 Blessed is he who considers the poor: Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃

2 Yahweh 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.

2 אַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּיֹ֥ום רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהוָֽה׃

3 Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, And restore him from his bed of illness.

3 יְהוָ֤ה׀ יִשְׁמְרֵ֣הוּ וִֽ֭יחַיֵּהוּ יֶאְשֹּׁר וְאֻשַּׁ֣ר בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּ֝תְּנֵ֗הוּ בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃

4 I said, "Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

4 יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶ֣רֶשׂ דְּוָ֑י כָּל־מִ֝שְׁכָּבֹ֗ו הָפַ֥כְתָּ בְחָלְיֹֽו׃

5 My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

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

6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

6 אֹויְבַ֗י יֹאמְר֣וּ רַ֣ע לִ֑י מָתַ֥י יָ֝מ֗וּת וְאָבַ֥ד שְׁמֹֽו׃

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

7 וְאִם־בָּ֤א לִרְאֹ֨ות׀ שָׁ֤וְא יְדַבֵּ֗ר לִבֹּ֗ו יִקְבָּץ־אָ֥וֶן לֹ֑ו יֵצֵ֖א לַח֣וּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃

8 "An evil disease," they say, "has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more."

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

9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who ate bread with me, Has lifted up his heel against me.

9 דְּֽבַר־בְּ֭לִיַּעַל יָצ֣וּק בֹּ֑ו וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר כַ֗ב לֹא־יֹוסִ֥יף לָקֽוּם׃

10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, That I may repay them.

10 גַּם־אִ֤ישׁ שְׁלֹומִ֨י׀ אֲשֶׁר־בָּטַ֣חְתִּי בֹ֖ו אֹוכֵ֣ל לַחְמִ֑י הִגְדִּ֖יל עָלַ֣י עָקֵֽב׃

11 By this I know that you delight in me, Because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

11 וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה חָנֵּ֥נִי וַהֲקִימֵ֑נִי וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָ֥ה לָהֶֽם׃

12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, And set me in your presence forever.

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

13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.

13 וַאֲנִ֗י בְּ֭תֻמִּי תָּמַ֣כְתָּ בִּ֑י וַתַּצִּיבֵ֖נִי לְפָנֶ֣יךָ לְעֹולָֽם׃
