Psalms 41

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!

2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.

3 Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.

Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.

4 As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”

5 Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?

Neprijatelji zlo govore o meni: “Kad će umrijeti i kad će mu nestati imena?”

6 And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.

Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:

8 A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

“Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila.” Ili: “Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje.”

9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.

10 But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.

11 By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.

12 But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.

13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.

Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!
