< Psalmi 41 >
1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!
Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time 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 preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and you will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness.
4 Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.
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 he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells 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 disease, say they, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he lies 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, which did eat of 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 merciful 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 you favour me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me.
12 A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.
And as for me, you uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before your face for ever.
13 Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
