Psalms 41

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. How happy are those who take care of the poor! When they are in trouble the Lord will save them.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Berbahagialah orang yang memperhatikan orang yang lemah; TUHAN akan menolong dia di waktu kesesakan.

2 The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. They will live happily in the land, and they will not be handed over to their enemies.

TUHAN akan melindungi dan memelihara dia, Ia akan membahagiakannya di bumi, dan tidak menyerahkan dia ke tangan musuhnya.

3 The Lord looks after them when they're sick; he makes them well from their illness.

TUHAN akan menolong dia pada waktu sakit, dan memulihkan kesehatannya.

4 “Lord, please be gracious to me,” I asked. “Please heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

Kataku, "Aku telah berdosa terhadap-Mu, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah aku dan sembuhkanlah aku."

5 Those who hate me only say evil things about me. “When is he going to die, and people forget all about him?” they ask.

Musuhku mengatakan yang jahat tentang aku, mereka ingin agar aku mati dan dilupakan.

6 They come to visit me, but their sympathy is not sincere. They're only interested in the bad news, which they spread around as soon as they leave.

Orang-orang yang menjenguk aku tidak tulus ikhlas. Mereka mengumpulkan kabar buruk tentang aku, lalu menyiarkannya ke mana-mana.

7 All who hate me talk in whispers about my condition, hoping for the worst.

Semua yang membenci aku berbisik-bisik; mereka mengatakan yang paling jelek tentang aku.

8 “He's been cursed with some terrible disease,” they say. “Now he's bed-ridden he'll never recover!”

Kata mereka, "Penyakitnya parah sekali, ia tak mungkin bangun lagi."

9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted, who shared meals with me—even he has turned against me.

Bahkan kawan karib yang paling kupercayai, orang yang makan bersamaku, telah menghina aku.

10 But you Lord, please be gracious to me, make me well so I can repay them!

Kasihanilah aku ya TUHAN, sembuhkanlah aku, agar aku dapat membalas kejahatan lawan-lawanku.

11 I know you are pleased with me because you have not let my enemies win and shout in triumph over me.

Kalau aku tidak dikalahkan musuhku, tahulah aku bahwa Engkau berkenan kepadaku.

12 You have supported me because of my integrity, you have brought me into your presence forever.

Engkau menolong aku karena ketulusanku, dan membuat aku hidup bersama-Mu untuk selamanya.

13 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen and amen!

Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel! Pujilah Dia sekarang dan selama-lamanya! Jadilah demikian. Amin!
