Psalms 41

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

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

2 The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up 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 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.

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

4 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

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

5 My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?

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

6 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.

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

7 All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.

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

8 They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

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

9 For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.

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

10 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them.

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

11 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

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

12 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.

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

13 Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.

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