^2 (3) Hashem Elohai, I cried unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me.

^3 (4) Hashem, Thou hast brought up my nefesh from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

^4 (5) Sing unto Hashem, O ye chasidim of His, and give thanks to His Zekher Kodesh.

^6 (7) And in my shalvah (security) I said, I shall never be moved.

^7 (8) Hashem, by Thy favor Thou hast made my mountain to stand firm; Thou didst hide Thy face, and I was troubled.

^8 (9) I cried to Thee, Hashem; and unto Adonoi I made supplication.

^9 (10) What profit is there in my dahm, in my going down into the pit? Shall the aphar (dust) praise Thee? Shall it declare Thy emes?

^10 (11) Shema, Hashem, and channeini; Hashem, be Thou my helper.

^11 (12) Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with simcha;

^12 (13) That kavod (my glory, my soul) may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. Hashem Elohai, I will give thanks unto Thee l’olam.

⁶ And, while Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was in Beit-Anyah in the bais of Shimon the leper,

⁷ An isha approached him with an alabaster flask of costly perfume, and she poured it out on Moshiach’s rosh, as he sat bimesibba (reclining at tish [table]).

⁸ And having seen this, Moshiach’s talmidim were angry, saying, For what is this waste?

⁹ For it would have been possible to sell this for a generous sum and give to the aniyim (poor ones).

¹⁰ Aware of this, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Why are you bringing about difficulty for the isha for the ma’aseh tov (good deed) she does to me.

¹¹ For the aniyim you have with you always, but you do not always have me.
