< Psalmi 41 >
1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.
2 Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.
The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.
3 Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.
The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.
4 Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”
I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
5 Neprijatelji zlo govore o meni: “Kad će umrijeti i kad će mu nestati imena?”
My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
6 I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.
My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.
7 Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:
All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:
8 “Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila.” Ili: “Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje.”
“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”
9 Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.
Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10 A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.
But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.
By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.
In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.
13 Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
