Psalms 41

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him Who is acting wisely to the poor, In a day of evil YHWH delivers him.

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

2 YHWH preserves him and revives him, He is blessed in the land, And You do not give him into 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 YHWH supports [him] on a bed of sickness, You have turned his bed in his weakness.

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

4 I said, “O YHWH, favor me, Heal my soul, for I sinned against You,”

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

5 My enemies say evil of me: When he dies—his name has perished!

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

6 And if he came to see—he speaks vanity, His heart gathers iniquity to itself, He goes out—at the street he speaks.

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

7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

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

8 A worthless thing is poured out on him, And because he lay down he does not rise again.

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

9 Even my ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, Made the heel great against me,

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

10 And You, YHWH, favor me, And cause me to rise, And I give repayment to them.

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

11 By this I have known, That You have delighted in me, Because my enemy does not shout over me.

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

12 As for me, in my integrity, You have taken hold on me, And cause me to stand before You for all time.

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

13 Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age to age. Amen and Amen.

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