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.

¡Oh cuán bendecido es el que piensa en el pobre! En el día malo Yavé lo librará.

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.

Yavé lo protegerá y le dará vida. Será bendito en la tierra, Y no lo entregarás a la voluntad de sus enemigos.

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

Yavé lo sustentará en el lecho de dolor. En su enfermedad suavizarás su cama.

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

Dije yo: Oh Yavé, ten compasión de mí. Sana mi alma, porque pequé contra Ti.

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

Mis enemigos hablan mal de mí y preguntan: ¿Cuándo morirá y perecerá su nombre?

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.

Cuando viene a verme, habla falsedad. Su corazón recoge perversidades. Cuando sale las divulga.

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

Todos los que me aborrecen murmuran reunidos contra mí. Maquinan la perversidad contra mí y dicen:

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.

Algo perverso fue derramado sobre él. Cuando caiga en cama, no volverá a levantarse.

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

Aun el hombre de mi paz en quien yo confiaba, Que comía de mi pan, Levantó contra mí su talón.

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

Pero Tú, oh Yavé, ten compasión de mí. Levántame para que le dé recompensa.

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

En esto sé que te complaces en mí: En que mi enemigo no proclame triunfo sobre mí.

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

En cuanto a mí, en mi integridad me sostienes, Y me establecerás en tu Presencia para siempre.

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

¡Bendito sea Yavé el ʼElohim de Israel, Desde la eternidad y hasta la eternidad! ¡Amén y amén!
