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 Vencedor: Salmo de David. Bienaventurado el que entiende sobre el pobre; en el día malo lo librará el SEÑOR.
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!
El SEÑOR lo guarde, y le dé vida: sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no lo 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.
El SEÑOR 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: SEÑOR, 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 alguno venía a verme, hablaba mentira; su corazón amontonaba iniquidad; y salido fuera, la 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, 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 pestilente de él se ha apoderado; 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 yo 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, SEÑOR, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, y les daré 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 a mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, y me has asentado 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 el SEÑOR, el Dios de Israel, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén y Amén.
