Psalms 41
1 Yahweh is pleased with those people who help to provide for the poor; he will rescue those people when they have troubles.
大卫的诗，交与伶长。 眷顾贫穷的有福了！ 他遭难的日子，耶和华必搭救他。
2 Yahweh protects them and allows them to live [for a long time]. He enables them to be happy in the land [of Israel], and rescues them from their enemies.
耶和华必保全他，使他存活； 他必在地上享福。 求你不要把他交给仇敌，遂其所愿。
3 When they are sick, Yahweh strengthens them, and he heals them.
他病重在榻，耶和华必扶持他； 他在病中，你必给他铺床。
4 [When I was sick], I said, “Yahweh, be merciful to me and heal me; [I know that I am sick because] I have sinned against you.”
我曾说：耶和华啊，求你怜恤我，医治我！ 因为我得罪了你。
5 My enemies say cruel things about me; they say, “How soon will he die, and then everyone will forget about him [MTY]? (OR, he will not have [any descendants to continue] his name).”
我的仇敌用恶言议论我说： 他几时死，他的名才灭亡呢？
6 When my enemies come to me, they falsely say that they [are concerned about me]. They listen to bad news about (me/my health). Then they go away and tell everywhere what is happening to me.
他来看我就说假话； 他心存奸恶，走到外边才说出来。
7 All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope/desire that very bad things will happen to me.
一切恨我的，都交头接耳地议论我； 他们设计要害我。
8 They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed [before he dies].”
他们说：有怪病贴在他身上； 他已躺卧，必不能再起来。
9 Even my best friend, whom I trusted very much, who [often] ate with me, has (betrayed me/put me into my enemies’ hands) [IDM].
连我知己的朋友， 我所倚靠、吃过我饭的也用脚踢我。
10 But Yahweh, be merciful to me, and enable me to become healthy [again]. When you do that, I will be able to (pay back my enemies/get revenge on my enemies/cause my enemies to suffer like they caused me to suffer).
耶和华啊，求你怜恤我， 使我起来，好报复他们！
11 [If you enable me to] do that, with the result that my enemies do not defeat me, I will know that you are pleased with me.
因我的仇敌不得向我夸胜， 我从此便知道你喜爱我。
12 [I will know that] it is because I have done what is right that you have helped me, and [I will know that] you will let me be with you forever.
你因我纯正就扶持我， 使我永远站在你的面前。
13 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship]; Praise him forever! Amen! I desire that it will be so!
耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的， 从亘古直到永远。阿们！阿们！
