Psalms 41

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

Blagoslovljen je, kdor misli na ubogega. Gospod ga bo osvobodil v času stiske.

2 The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

Gospod ga bo varoval in ga ohranil živega in blagoslovljen bo na zemlji in ti ga nočeš izročiti volji njegovih sovražnikov.

3 The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.

Gospod ga bo okrepil na postelji slabljenja. Zamenjal boš vso njegovo posteljo v njegovi bolezni.

4 I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.

Rekel sem: » Gospod, bodi mi usmiljen. Ozdravi mojo dušo, kajti grešil sem zoper tebe.«

5 My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?

Moji sovražniki zlobno govorijo o meni: »Kdaj bo umrl in njegovo ime izgine?«

6 If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.

Če pride, da me vidi, govori prazne reči. Njegovo srce k sebi zbira krivičnost; ko hodi proč od bivališča, to pripoveduje.

7 All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.

Vsi, ki me sovražijo, skupaj šepetajo zoper mene, zoper mene snujejo mojo bolečino.

8 They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

Zla bolezen, pravijo, se ga trdno drži, in sedaj, ko leži, ne bo več vstal.

9 Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.

Da, moj lastni zaupni prijatelj, v katerega sem zaupal, ki je jedel od mojega kruha, je dvignil svojo peto zoper mene.

10 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.

Toda ti, oh Gospod, mi bodi usmiljen in me dvigni, da jim lahko poplačam.

11 By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.

Po tem spoznam, da me ti podpiraš, ker moj sovražnik ne slavi zmage nad menoj.

12 And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.

Kar se mene tiče, me podpiraš v moji neokrnjenosti in me postavljaš pred svoje obličje na veke.

13 May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.

Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, od večnosti in do večnosti. Amen in Amen.
