Psalms 41

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. Berbahagialah orang yang memperhatikan orang lemah! TUHAN akan meluputkan dia pada waktu celaka.

2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

TUHAN akan melindungi dia dan memelihara nyawanya, sehingga ia disebut berbahagia di bumi; Engkau takkan membiarkan dia dipermainkan musuhnya!

3 The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

TUHAN membantu dia di ranjangnya waktu sakit; di tempat tidurnya Kaupulihkannya sama sekali dari sakitnya.

4 I said, “LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

Kalau aku, kataku: "TUHAN, kasihanilah aku, sembuhkanlah aku, sebab terhadap Engkaulah aku berdosa!"

5 My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

Musuhku mengatakan yang jahat tentang aku: "Bilakah ia mati, dan namanya hilang lenyap?"

6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

Orang yang datang menjenguk, berkata dusta; hatinya penuh kejahatan, lalu ia keluar menceritakannya di jalan.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

Semua orang yang benci kepadaku berbisik-bisik bersama-sama tentang aku, mereka merancangkan yang jahat terhadap aku:

8 “An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”

"Penyakit jahanam telah menimpa dia, sekali ia berbaring, takkan bangun-bangun lagi."

9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

Bahkan sahabat karibku yang kupercayai, yang makan rotiku, telah mengangkat tumitnya terhadap aku.

10 But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah aku dan tegakkanlah aku, maka aku hendak mengadakan pembalasan terhadap mereka.

11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

Dengan demikian aku tahu, bahwa Engkau berkenan kepadaku, apabila musuhku tidak bersorak-sorai karena aku.

12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

Tetapi aku, Engkau menopang aku karena ketulusanku, Engkau membuat aku tegak di hadapan-Mu untuk selama-lamanya.

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

Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya! Amin, ya amin.
