Psalms 41

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD 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 The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed 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 support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.

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

4 As for me, I said: 'O LORD, 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 speak evil of 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 one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of 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 'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall 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 trusted, 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, O LORD, 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, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

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

12 And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of 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 the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

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