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:
Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. BIENAVENTURADO el que piensa en el pobre: en el día malo lo librará 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 lo guarde, y le dé vida: sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no lo entregues á 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 lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor: mullirás toda su cama 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 mi alma, porque contra ti he pecado.
5 Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí [preguntando]: ¿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 venía á ver[me], hablaba mentira: su corazón se amontonaba iniquidad; y salido fuera, hablába[la].
7 Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.
Reunidos murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían: contra mí pensaban mal, [diciendo de 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 de él se ha apoderado; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá á 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 hombre de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que de mi pan comía, alzó 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 hazme levantar, y daréles el pago.
11 Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.
En esto habré conocido que te he agradado, que mi enemigo no se holgará de 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.
En cuanto á mí, 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, por siglos de siglos. Amén y Amén.
