Psalms 41

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Blessed is he who considers the poor and needy. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. BIENAVENTURADO el que piensa en el pobre: en el día malo lo librará Jehová.

2 The LORD will protect him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

Jehová lo guarde, y le dé vida: sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no lo entregues á la voluntad de sus enemigos.

3 The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

Jehová lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor: mullirás toda su cama en su enfermedad.

4 I said, "LORD, have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

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

5 My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

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

6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

Y si venía á ver[me], hablaba mentira: su corazón se amontonaba iniquidad; y salido fuera, hablába[la].

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

Reunidos murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían: contra mí pensaban mal, [diciendo de mí]:

8 "A wicked thing is poured out on him; and he who lies down will not rise again."

Cosa pestilencial de él se ha apoderado; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá á levantarse.

9 Even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

Aun el hombre de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que de mi pan comía, alzó contra mí el calcañar.

10 But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

Mas tú, Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, y daréles el pago.

11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

En esto habré conocido que te he agradado, que mi enemigo no se holgará de mí.

12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

En cuanto á mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen and amen.

Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, por siglos de siglos. Amén y Amén.
