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.

Bienaventurado el que entiende sobre el pobre; en el día malo le libre Jehová.

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.

Jehová le guarde, y le dé vida; sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no le entregues 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.

Jehová le sustentará sobre la cama de dolor; toda su cama revolviste en su enfermedad.

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

Yo dije: Jehová, ten misericordia de mí; sana a mi alma, porque he pecado contra ti.

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

Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí: ¿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.

Y si me venía a ver, hablaba mentira: su corazón le amontonaba iniquidad: salido fuera, hablaba.

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

Congregados murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían; contra mí pensaban mal para mí.

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.

Cosa pestilencial, dicen, se ha pegado en él; y el que cayó 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 varón de mi paz, en quien confiaba; el que comía mi pan, engrandeció contra mí el calcañar.

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

Mas tú Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y házme levantar; y pagárles he.

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

En esto conocí que te he agradado, porque mi enemigo no triunfará contra mí.

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

Y yo en mi integridad me has sustentado: y me has hecho estar delante de ti 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 Jehová, el Dios de Israel, de siglo a siglo. Amén, y Amén.
