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.

Bienaventurado el que entiende sobre el pobre; en el día malo le libre Jehová.

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.

Jehová le guarde, y le dé vida; sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no le entregues a la voluntad de sus enemigos.

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

Jehová le sustentará sobre la cama de dolor; toda su cama revolviste en su enfermedad.

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

Yo dije: Jehová, ten misericordia de mí; sana a mi alma, porque he pecado contra ti.

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

Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí: ¿Cuándo morirá, y perecerá su nombre?

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.

Y si me venía a ver, hablaba mentira: su corazón le amontonaba iniquidad: salido fuera, hablaba.

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

Congregados murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían; contra mí pensaban mal para mí.

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

Cosa pestilencial, dicen, se ha pegado en él; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá a levantarse.

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

Aun el varón de mi paz, en quien confiaba; el que comía mi pan, engrandeció contra mí el calcañar.

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

Mas tú Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y házme levantar; y pagárles he.

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

En esto conocí que te he agradado, porque mi enemigo no triunfará contra mí.

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

Y yo en mi integridad me has sustentado: y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

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

Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, de siglo a siglo. Amén, y Amén.
