詩篇 41

1 達味詩歌，交與樂官。 眷顧貧窮人的人，真是有福，患難時日，他必蒙上主救助。

For the end, a Psalm of David. Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.

2 上主必保護他，賜他生存，在世上蒙福，決不將他交給他的仇敵而任敵所欲。

May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

3 他呻吟床榻，上主給他支援，他患病時，必使他轉危為安。

May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; you have made all his bed in his sickness.

4 我曾哀求你：上主，求你憐憫我」，求你治癒我，因為我得罪了你。

I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.

5 我的仇敵反而惡言辱罵我說：「他何時死，他的名字幾時泯滅？

Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?

6 前來訪我的人，只以虛言相待，其實是心懷惡意，出去便說出來。

And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

7 恨我的人，個個竊竊私議，咒我遭殃生疾：

All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

8 願他身患惡疾! 願他一病不起！

They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

9 連我素來信賴的知心友好，吃過我飯的人，也舉腳踢我。

For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me.

10 上主，求你可憐我，使我病除，為使我能對他們加以復仇。

But you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

11 我以此作為你真愛我的記號：就是不讓我的敵人向我誇耀；

By this I know that you have delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

12 你時常保持我無災無難，使我永遠站在你的面前。

But you did help me because of [mine] innocence, and have established me before you for ever.

13 願上主，以色列天主，受讚頌，自永遠直到永遠，阿們，阿們

Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.
