Psalms 41

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Happy is he who hath regard to the poor! The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

Blagoslovljen je, kdor misli na ubogega. Gospod ga bo osvobodil v času stiske.

2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; He shall be happy on the earth; Thou wilt not give him up to the will of his enemies!

Gospod ga bo varoval in ga ohranil živega in blagoslovljen bo na zemlji in ti ga nočeš izročiti volji njegovih sovražnikov.

3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of disease; All his bed thou wilt change in his sickness.

Gospod ga bo okrepil na postelji slabljenja. Zamenjal boš vso njegovo posteljo v njegovi bolezni.

4 I said, O LORD! be merciful to me! Heal me, for I have sinned against thee!

Rekel sem: » Gospod, bodi mi usmiljen. Ozdravi mojo dušo, kajti grešil sem zoper tebe.«

5 My enemies speak evil of me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

Moji sovražniki zlobno govorijo o meni: »Kdaj bo umrl in njegovo ime izgine?«

6 If one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth malice; When he goeth abroad, he uttereth it.

Če pride, da me vidi, govori prazne reči. Njegovo srce k sebi zbira krivičnost; ko hodi proč od bivališča, to pripoveduje.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise mischief:

Vsi, ki me sovražijo, skupaj šepetajo zoper mene, zoper mene snujejo mojo bolečino.

8 “A deadly disease cleaveth fast unto him; He lieth down, and he shall never arise!”

Zla bolezen, pravijo, se ga trdno drži, in sedaj, ko leži, ne bo več vstal.

9 Yea, my familiar friend in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, —He hath lifted up his heel against me.

Da, moj lastni zaupni prijatelj, v katerega sem zaupal, ki je jedel od mojega kruha, je dvignil svojo peto zoper mene.

10 But do thou, O LORD! have pity upon me; Raise me up, that I may requite them!

Toda ti, oh Gospod, mi bodi usmiljen in me dvigni, da jim lahko poplačam.

11 By this I know that thou favorest me, Because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

Po tem spoznam, da me ti podpiraš, ker moj sovražnik ne slavi zmage nad menoj.

12 As for me, thou wilt uphold me in my integrity; Thou wilt set me before thy face for ever!

Kar se mene tiče, me podpiraš v moji neokrnjenosti in me postavljaš pred svoje obličje na veke.

13 [Praised be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen! Amen!]

Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, od večnosti in do večnosti. Amen in Amen.
