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.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Berbahagialah orang yang memperhatikan orang yang lemah; TUHAN akan menolong dia di waktu kesesakan.

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.

TUHAN akan melindungi dan memelihara dia, Ia akan membahagiakannya di bumi, dan tidak menyerahkan dia ke tangan musuhnya.

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

TUHAN akan menolong dia pada waktu sakit, dan memulihkan kesehatannya.

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

Kataku, "Aku telah berdosa terhadap-Mu, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah aku dan sembuhkanlah aku."

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

Musuhku mengatakan yang jahat tentang aku, mereka ingin agar aku mati dan dilupakan.

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

Orang-orang yang menjenguk aku tidak tulus ikhlas. Mereka mengumpulkan kabar buruk tentang aku, lalu menyiarkannya ke mana-mana.

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

Semua yang membenci aku berbisik-bisik; mereka mengatakan yang paling jelek tentang aku.

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

Kata mereka, "Penyakitnya parah sekali, ia tak mungkin bangun lagi."

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

Bahkan kawan karib yang paling kupercayai, orang yang makan bersamaku, telah menghina aku.

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

Kasihanilah aku ya TUHAN, sembuhkanlah aku, agar aku dapat membalas kejahatan lawan-lawanku.

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

Kalau aku tidak dikalahkan musuhku, tahulah aku bahwa Engkau berkenan kepadaku.

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

Engkau menolong aku karena ketulusanku, dan membuat aku hidup bersama-Mu untuk selamanya.

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

Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel! Pujilah Dia sekarang dan selama-lamanya! Jadilah demikian. Amin!
