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.

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Blagor mu, kdor se spominja siromaka, govoreč: O času nadloge bode ga otél Gospod.

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.

Gospod ga bode rešil, ohranil življenju; srečen bode na zemlji, in ne izdajaj ga želji sovražnikov njegovih.

3 The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.

Gospod naj ga podpira na postelji slabosti: vse ležišče njegovo vsled bolezni njegove preméni,

4 As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'

Ko govorim: Gospod, milost mi stóri, ozdravi dušo mojo, ker tebi sem grešil.

5 Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'

Sovražniki moji so slabo govorili o meni: Kdaj bode umrl in bode izginilo ime njegovo?

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.

Ko je tedaj prihajal obiskat me kdó, govorilo je laž srce njegovo; zbiralo si je krivico: šel je ven in právil.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:

Vkup so šepetali zoper mene vsi sovražniki moji; zoper mene so izmišljali, kar bi mi bilo v zlo, govoreč:

8 'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'

Stvar silno malopridna tiči v njem globoko, in ker leži, več ne vstane.

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

Tudi mož, ki je živel v miru z menoj, v katerega sem zaupal, kateri je jedel mojo jed, vzdignil je peto proti meni.

10 But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

Ti pa, Gospod, storí mi milost, in zbúdi me, da jim povrnem.

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

12 And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.

13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
