Psalms 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!

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.
