Psalms 41

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

Bienaventurado el que entiende sobre el pobre; en el día malo le libre Jehová.

2 Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!

Jehová le guarde, y le dé vida; sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no le entregues a la voluntad de sus enemigos.

3 Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.

Jehová le sustentará sobre la cama de dolor; toda su cama revolviste en su enfermedad.

4 I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:

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

5 Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?

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

6 And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.

Y si me venía a ver, hablaba mentira: su corazón le amontonaba iniquidad: salido fuera, hablaba.

7 Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.

Congregados murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían; contra mí pensaban mal para mí.

8 An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

Cosa pestilencial, dicen, se ha pegado en él; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá a levantarse.

9 Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified his heel against me!

Aun el varón de mi paz, en quien confiaba; el que comía mi pan, engrandeció contra mí el calcañar.

10 But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.

Mas tú Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y házme levantar; y pagárles he.

11 Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.

En esto conocí que te he agradado, porque mi enemigo no triunfará contra mí.

12 But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.

Y yo en mi integridad me has sustentado: y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!

Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, de siglo a siglo. Amén, y Amén.
