Psalms 41

1 Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. Berbahagialah orang yang memperhatikan orang lemah! TUHAN akan meluputkan dia pada waktu celaka.

2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed on the earth: and you will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

TUHAN akan melindungi dia dan memelihara nyawanya, sehingga ia disebut berbahagia di bumi; Engkau takkan membiarkan dia dipermainkan musuhnya!

3 The LORD will strengthen him on the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness.

TUHAN membantu dia di ranjangnya waktu sakit; di tempat tidurnya Kaupulihkannya sama sekali dari sakitnya.

4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.

Kalau aku, kataku: "TUHAN, kasihanilah aku, sembuhkanlah aku, sebab terhadap Engkaulah aku berdosa!"

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

Musuhku mengatakan yang jahat tentang aku: "Bilakah ia mati, dan namanya hilang lenyap?"

6 And if he come to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.

Orang yang datang menjenguk, berkata dusta; hatinya penuh kejahatan, lalu ia keluar menceritakannya di jalan.

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

Semua orang yang benci kepadaku berbisik-bisik bersama-sama tentang aku, mereka merancangkan yang jahat terhadap aku:

8 An evil disease, say they, sticks fast to him: and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.

"Penyakit jahanam telah menimpa dia, sekali ia berbaring, takkan bangun-bangun lagi."

9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

Bahkan sahabat karibku yang kupercayai, yang makan rotiku, telah mengangkat tumitnya terhadap aku.

10 But you, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah aku dan tegakkanlah aku, maka aku hendak mengadakan pembalasan terhadap mereka.

11 By this I know that you favor me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

Dengan demikian aku tahu, bahwa Engkau berkenan kepadaku, apabila musuhku tidak bersorak-sorai karena aku.

12 And as for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me before your face for ever.

Tetapi aku, Engkau menopang aku karena ketulusanku, Engkau membuat aku tegak di hadapan-Mu untuk selama-lamanya.

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

Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya! Amin, ya amin.
