Tehillim 41
41
(For the one directing, Mizmor of Dovid)
1 Blessed is he that considereth the helpless; Hashem will deliver him in time of ra'ah (evil, trouble).
2 Hashem 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.
3 Hashem will support him upon the sickbed; in his illness, all his bedridden languishing Thou wilt change.#41:3 i.e., toward recovery
4 I said, Hashem, channeni (be gracious unto me); heal my nefesh; for I have sinned against Thee.
5 Mine enemies speak rah (evil) of me: When will he die, and shmo (his name) perish?
6 And if one cometh to see me, he speaketh falsely; his lev gathereth wickedness to itself; when he goeth lachutz (outside, around) he telleth it.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
8 A thing of beliya'al (a wicked fate),#41:8 i.e., a terminal illness say they, cleaveth fast unto him, that when he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9 Yea, mine own ish shalom (familiar friend, close friend), in whom I trusted, which did eat of my lechem, hath lifted up his heel#41:9 i.e., deceitfully showed enmity against me.#41:9 See Jn 13:18
10 But Thou, O Hashem, channeni (be gracious, merciful unto me), and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 By this I know that Thou favorest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 And as for me, Thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face l'olam (forever).
13 Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel m'haolam v'ad haolam. Omein and Omein.

Psalm 41
41
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
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.
3The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
Thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4I said, LORD, be merciful unto me:
Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5Mine enemies speak evil of me,
When shall he die, and his name perish?
6And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity:
His heart gathereth iniquity to itself; When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7All that hate me whisper together against me:
Against me do they devise my hurt.
8An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him:
And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
Which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me,
And raise me up, that I may requite them.
11By this I know that thou favourest me,
Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,
And settest me before thy face for ever.
13Blessed be the LORD God of Israel
From everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
