Psalms 41

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth 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 upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto 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 upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt 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 unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

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

5 Mine 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 speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [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], cleaveth fast unto him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

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

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

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

10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto 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 thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

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

12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy 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.
