Salme 41
1 Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Blessed is he who is concerned for the weak; in the day of trouble, Yahweh will rescue him.
2 Salig den, som handler forstandigt imod den ringe; Herren skal redde ham paa den onde Dag.
Yahweh will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will of his enemies.
3 Herren skal bevare ham og holde ham ved Live, han skal blive lyksalig paa Jorden; og du skal ikke give ham hen i hans Fjenders Villie.
Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.
4 Herren skal opholde ham paa Sygesengen; du har hjulpet ham op igen fra hvert Sygeleje.
I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5 Jeg sagde: Herre! vær mig naadig, helbred min Sjæl; thi jeg har syndet imod dig.
My enemies speak evil against me, saying, 'When will he die and his name perish?'
6 Mine Fjender tale ondt om mig: Naar skal han dog dø og hans Navn forgaa?
If my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about it.
7 Og dersom een kommer at se mig, taler han Falskhed, hans Hjerte samler paa Uret; gaar han ud udenfor, da taler han derom.
All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they hope for my hurt.
8 Alle mine Avindsmænd hviske sammen imod mig; de optænke imod mig det, som er mig ondt.
They say, “An evil disease holds on tightly to him; now that he is lying down, he will rise up no more.”
9 De sige: Der hænger en Niddingsdaad fast ved ham, og saasom han ligger, skal han ikke staa op mere.
Indeed, even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10 Ogsaa den Mand, som havde Fred med mig, hvem jeg forlod mig paa, som aad mit Brød, han opløftede sin Hæl imod mig.
But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me and raise me up so that I may pay them back.
11 Men du, Herre! vær mig naadig og rejs mig op, saa vil jeg betale dem.
By this I know that you delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 Derpaa kender jeg, at du har Behagelighed til mig, at min Fjende ikke skal faa Glæde over mig.
As for me, you support me in my integrity and will keep me before your face forever.
13 Men mig opholder du og sætter mig for dit Ansigt evindelig i min Oprigtighed. Lovet være Herren, Israels Gud, fra Evighed og indtil Evighed! Amen, ja, Amen.
May Yahweh, the God of Israel be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
