Tehillim (Psalms) 41
41
1Blessed is he who considers the poor; יהוה does deliver him in a day of evil.
2יהוה does guard him and keep him alive; He is blessed on the earth, And You do not hand him over To the desire of his enemies.
3יהוה sustains him on his sickbed; In his weakness on his bed You bring a change.
4As for me, I said, “O יהוה, show me favour; Heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
5My enemies speak evil of me, “When he dies his name shall perish.”
6And when one comes to visit, he speaks falsely; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; He goes out, he speaks of it.
7All who hate me whisper together against me; They plot evil to me, saying,
8A matter of Beliya‛al is poured out on him, That when he lies down, he would not rise again.
9Even my own friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.
10But You, יהוה, show me favour and raise me up, And let me repay them.
11By this I know that You did delight in me, Because my enemy does not shout for joy over me.
12And I, You uphold me in my integrity, And set me before Your face forever.
13Blessed be יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl From everlasting to everlasting! Amĕn and Amĕn.

Psalms 41
41
Psalm 41
For the choir director; a psalm by David.
1Blessed is the one who has concern for helpless people.
The Lord will rescue him in times of trouble.
2The Lord will protect him and keep him alive.
He will be blessed in the land.
Do not place him at the mercy of his enemies.
3The Lord will support him on his sickbed.
You will restore this person to health when he is ill.
4I said, “O Lord, have pity on me!
Heal my soul because I have sinned against you.”
5My enemies say terrible things about me:
“When will he die, and when will his family name disappear?”
6When one of them comes to visit me, he speaks foolishly.
His heart collects gossip.
⌞Then⌟ he leaves to tell others.
7Everyone who hates me whispers about me.
They think evil things about me and say,
8“A devilish disease has attached itself to him.
He will never leave his sickbed.”
9Even my closest friend whom I trusted,
the one who ate my bread,
has lifted his heel against me.
10Have pity on me, O Lord!
Raise me up so that I can pay them back
11and my enemy cannot shout in triumph over me.
When you do this, I know that you are pleased with me.
12You defend my integrity,
and you set me in your presence forever.
13Thank the Lord God of Israel through all eternity!
Amen and amen!
