詩篇 41

1 大衛的詩，交與伶長。 眷顧貧窮的有福了！ 他遭難的日子，耶和華必搭救他。

For the leader; for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. Happy are those who consider the weak; in the day of misfortune the Lord will deliver them.

2 耶和華必保全他，使他存活； 他必在地上享福。 求你不要把他交給仇敵，遂其所願。

He will keep them safe, happy, and long in the land, and not give them up to the rage of their foes.

3 他病重在榻，耶和華必扶持他； 他在病中，你必給他鋪床。

The Lord will sustain them on bed of languishing; tending their sickness, as long as they lie.

4 我曾說：耶和華啊，求你憐恤我，醫治我！ 因為我得罪了你。

For this cause I say, “Lord, show me your favor; heal me, because I have sinned against you.”

5 我的仇敵用惡言議論我說： 他幾時死，他的名才滅亡呢？

My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, “When will he die, and his name pass away?”

6 他來看我就說假話； 他心存奸惡，走到外邊才說出來。

When one comes to see me, their words ring hollow; their heart keeps gathering mischief the while; and when they go out, they give it speech.

7 一切恨我的，都交頭接耳地議論我； 他們設計要害我。

In secret they whisper together against me, all those who hate me plot evil against me.

8 他們說：有怪病貼在他身上； 他已躺臥，必不能再起來。

“Some fatal disease has fastened upon him; and now that he lies, he will rise up no more.”

9 連我知己的朋友， 我所倚靠、吃過我飯的也用腳踢我。

My most trusted friend, on whom I relied, who ate of my bread, has turned against me.

10 耶和華啊，求你憐恤我， 使我起來，好報復他們！

But do you, Lord, graciously raise me up, that I may pay them their due reward.

11 因我的仇敵不得向我誇勝， 我從此便知道你喜愛我。

By this will I know you delight in me: if my foes may not shout over me in triumph.

12 你因我純正就扶持我， 使我永遠站在你的面前。

For my innocence you uphold me, and set me forever before your face.

13 耶和華－以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的， 從亙古直到永遠。阿們！阿們！

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, Amen and Amen.
