Psalmi 41

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

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

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 keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.

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

The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.

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

As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto 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?”

Mine enemies speak evil of 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 one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.

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

All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:

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

'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'

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

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

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

But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may 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 delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

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

And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.

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

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