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 leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Happy is he who hath regard to the poor! The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

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。

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; He shall be happy on the earth; Thou wilt not give him up to the will of his enemies!

3 他呻吟床榻，上主給他支援，他患病時，必使他轉危為安。

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of disease; All his bed thou wilt change 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! be merciful to me! Heal me, for I have sinned against thee!

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？

My enemies speak evil of me: “When will 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。

If one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth malice; When he goeth abroad, he uttereth it.

7 恨我的人，個個竊竊私議，咒我遭殃生疾：

All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise mischief:

8 願他身患惡疾! 願他一病不起！

“A deadly disease cleaveth fast unto him; He lieth down, and he shall never arise!”

9 連我素來信賴的知心友好，吃過我飯的人，也舉腳踢我。

Yea, my familiar friend in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, —He hath 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 do thou, O LORD! have pity upon me; Raise me up, that I may 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 thou favorest me, Because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 你時常保持我無災無難，使我永遠站在你的面前。

As for me, thou wilt uphold me in my integrity; Thou wilt set me before thy face 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

[Praised be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen! Amen!]
