Psalms 41

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.

大卫的诗，交与伶长。 眷顾贫穷的有福了！ 他遭难的日子，耶和华必搭救他。

2 May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

耶和华必保全他，使他存活； 他必在地上享福。 求你不要把他交给仇敌，遂其所愿。

3 May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; you have made all his bed in his sickness.

他病重在榻，耶和华必扶持他； 他在病中，你必给他铺床。

4 I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.

我曾说：耶和华啊，求你怜恤我，医治我！ 因为我得罪了你。

5 Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?

我的仇敌用恶言议论我说： 他几时死，他的名才灭亡呢？

6 And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

他来看我就说假话； 他心存奸恶，走到外边才说出来。

7 All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

一切恨我的，都交头接耳地议论我； 他们设计要害我。

8 They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

他们说：有怪病贴在他身上； 他已躺卧，必不能再起来。

9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me.

连我知己的朋友， 我所倚靠、吃过我饭的也用脚踢我。

10 But you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

耶和华啊，求你怜恤我， 使我起来，好报复他们！

11 By this I know that you have delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

因我的仇敌不得向我夸胜， 我从此便知道你喜爱我。

12 But you did help me because of [mine] innocence, and have established me before you for ever.

你因我纯正就扶持我， 使我永远站在你的面前。

13 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.

耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的， 从亘古直到永远。阿们！阿们！
