Psalms 41

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Blessed is he that iudgeth wisely of the poore: the Lord shall deliuer him in ye time of trouble.

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

2 The Lord will keepe him, and preserue him aliue: he shalbe blessed vpon the earth, and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto 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 wil strengthen him vpon ye bed of sorow: thou hast turned al his bed in his sicknes.

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

4 Therefore I saide, Lord haue mercie vpon me: heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.

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

5 Mine enemies speake euill of me, saying, 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 hee come to see mee, hee speaketh lies, but his heart heapeth iniquitie within him, and when he commeth foorth, he telleth it.

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

7 All they that hate me, whisper together against me: euen against me do they imagine mine hurt.

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

8 A mischiefe is light vpon him, and he that lyeth, shall no more rise.

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

9 Yea, my familiar friend, whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lifted vp the heele against me.

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

10 Therefore, O Lord, haue mercy vpon mee, and raise me vp: so I shall reward them.

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

11 By this I know that thou fauourest me, because mine enemie doth not triumph against me.

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

12 And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie, and doest set me before thy face for euer.

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

13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel worlde without ende. So be it, euen so be it.

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