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。

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

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。

Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire 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。

Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.

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 Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, 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？

Mine enemies, speak ill 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。

And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.

7 恨我的人，個個竊竊私議，咒我遭殃生疾：

Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.

8 願他身患惡疾! 願他一病不起！

An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

9 連我素來信賴的知心友好，吃過我飯的人，也舉腳踢我。

Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified 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, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay 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；

Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.

12 你時常保持我無災無難，使我永遠站在你的面前。

But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.

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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
