Psalms 41

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!

2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth; and deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.

3 The LORD will support him upon the couch of languishing: thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.

4 I said, O LORD, have mercy upon me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”

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

Neprijatelji zlo govore o meni: “Kad će umrijeti i kad će mu nestati imena?”

6 And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself: when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:

8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

“Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila.” Ili: “Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje.”

9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.

10 But thou, O LORD, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.

11 By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.

12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.

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

Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!
