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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, 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 you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

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

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

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

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

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