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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, 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 thou, O LORD, have mercy upon me, and 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 delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

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

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

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

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

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