The text of the psalm
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
אַשְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּיל אֶל־דָּל בְּיוֹם רָעָה יְמַלְּטֵהוּ יְהוָֽה׃
Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.
יְהוָה יִשְׁמְרֵהוּ וִיחַיֵּהוּ וְאֻשַּׁר בָּאָרֶץ וְאַל־תִּתְּנֵהוּ בְּנֶפֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃
The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.
יְהוָה יִסְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶרֶשׂ דְּוָי כָּל־מִשְׁכָּבוֹ הָפַכְתָּ בְחָלְיֽוֹ׃
The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.
אֲנִי־אָמַרְתִּי יְהוָה חָנֵּנִי רְפָאָה נַפְשִׁי כִּי־חָטָאתִי לָֽךְ׃
As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'
אוֹיְבַי יֹאמְרוּ רַע לִי מָתַי יָמוּת וְאָבַד שְׁמֽוֹ׃
Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'
וְאִם־בָּא לִרְאוֹת שָׁוְא יְדַבֵּר לִבּוֹ יִקְבָּץ־אָוֶן לוֹ יֵצֵא לַחוּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃
And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.
יַחַד עָלַי יִתְלַחֲשׁוּ כָּל־שֹׂנְאָי עָלַי יַחְשְׁבוּ רָעָה לִֽי׃
All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:
דְּבַר־בְּלִיַּעַל יָצוּק בּוֹ וַאֲשֶׁר שָׁכַב לֹא־יוֹסִיף לָקֽוּם׃
'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'
גַּם־אִישׁ שְׁלוֹמִי אֲשֶׁר־בָּטַחְתִּי בוֹ אוֹכֵל לַחְמִי הִגְדִּיל עָלַי עָקֵֽב׃
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.
וְאַתָּה יְהוָה חָנֵּנִי וַהֲקִימֵנִי וַאֲשַׁלְּמָה לָהֶֽם׃
But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
בְּזֹאת יָדַעְתִּי כִּי־חָפַצְתָּ בִּי כִּי לֹא־יָרִיעַ אֹיְבִי עָלָֽי׃
By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
וַאֲנִי בְּתֻמִּי תָּמַכְתָּ בִּי וַתַּצִּיבֵנִי לְפָנֶיךָ לְעוֹלָֽם׃
And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵהָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעוֹלָם אָמֵן וְאָמֵֽן׃
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
