Psalmi 41

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!

Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

2 Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.

The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

3 Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.

The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.

4 Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”

I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

5 Neprijatelji zlo govore o meni: “Kad će umrijeti i kad će mu nestati imena?”

My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?

6 I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.

And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.

7 Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:

All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.

8 “Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila.” Ili: “Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje.”

They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

9 Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.

For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.

10 A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.

But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them.

11 Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.

By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

12 A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.

But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.

13 Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!

Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
