1Unto the end, understanding for the sons of Core.
1(41-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (41-2) Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.
2As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
2(41-3) 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.
3My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
3(41-4) The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.
4My tears have been any bread day and night, whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
4(41-5) As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'
5These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God: With the voice of joy and praise; the noise of one feasting.
5(41-6) Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'
6Why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance,
6(41-7) And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.
7And my God. My soul is troubled within myself: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
7(41-8) All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:
8Deep calleth on deep, at the noise of thy flood-gates. All thy heights and thy billows have passed over me.
8(41-9) 'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'
9In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; and a canticle to him in the night. With me is prayer to the God of my life.
9(41-10) Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10I will say to God: Thou art my support. Why hast thou forgotten me? and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
10(41-11) But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who trouble me have reproached me; Whilst they say to me day be day: Where is thy God?
11(41-12) By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
12(41-13) And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.
