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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

5 Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], 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 came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 But you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall 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 have delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

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

12 But you did help me because of [mine] innocence, and have established me before you 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. So be it, so be it.

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