אלַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

2Happy is he who is thoughtful of the wretched; in bad times may Hashem keep him from harm.

באַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּי֥וֹם רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהֹוָֽה׃

3May Hashem guard him and preserve him; and may he be thought happy in the land. Do not subject him to the will of his enemies.

4Hashem will sustain him on his sickbed; You shall wholly transform his bed of suffering.

7If one comes to visit, he speaks falsely; his mind stores up evil thoughts; once outside, he speaks them.
