3 ܡܪܝܐ ܢܢܛܪܝܘܗܝ ܘܢܐܚܝܘܗܝ ܘܢܛܐܒ ܠܗ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ ܠܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܘܗܝ	3 Yahweh sustains him on his bed of sickness; you transform altogether the bed where he lies sick.
4 ܡܪܝܐ ܢܣܡܟܝܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܥܪܣܐ ܕܟܐ̈ܒܘܗܝ ܘܟܠܗ ܡܫܟܒܗ ܗܦܟ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܗ	4 For my part I said, 'Yahweh, take pity on me! Cure me for I have sinned against you.'
5 ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܪܝ ܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܘܐܣܗ̇ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܛܝܬ ܠܟ	5 My enemies speak to me only of disaster, 'When wil he die and his name disappear?'
6 ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܐܡܪܘ ܥܠܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬ ܘܐܒܕ ܫܡܗ	6 When people come to see me their talk is hol ow, when they get out they spread the news with spite intheir hearts.
7 ܐܡܬܝ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܚܙܝܢܝ ܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܚܫܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܫܘܩܐ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ	7 Al who hate me whisper together about me and reckon I deserve the misery I suffer.
8 ܐܬܠܚܫܘ ܥܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܚܕܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܣ̈ܢܐܝ ܘܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܥܠܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ	8 'A fatal sickness has a grip on him; now that he is down, he will never get up again.'
9 ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܪܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܟܝܠ ܕܫܟܒ ܠܐ ܡܘܣܦ ܠܡܩܡ	9 Even my trusted friend on whom I relied, who shared my table, takes advantage of me.
10 ܐܦ ܓܒܪܐ ܫܐܠ ܫܠܡܝ ܕܬܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܟܠ ܠܚܡܝ ܕܬܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܣܓܝ ܐܬܢܟܠ ܥܠܝ	10 But you, Yahweh, take pity on me! Put me on my feet and I wil give them their due.
11 ܘܐܢܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܘܐܩܝܡܝܢܝ ܕܐܦܪܘܥ ܐܢܘܢ	11 This wil convince me that you delight in me, if my enemy no longer exults over me.
12 ܒܗܕܐ ܝܕܥܬ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܒܐܫ ܠܝ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝ	12 Then you wil keep me unscathed, and set me in your presence for ever.
13 ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܒܬܡܝܡܘܬܝ ܣܡܟܬܢܝ ܘܐܩܝܡܬܢܝ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܠܥܠܡ	13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity. Amen, Amen.
