< Psalms 41 >
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Blessed is he who is concerned for the weak; in the day of trouble, Yahweh will rescue 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 will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will 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 support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.
Jehová lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor: mullirás toda su cama en su enfermedad.
4 I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
Yo dije: Jehová, ten misericordia de mí; sana mi alma, porque contra ti he pecado.
5 My enemies speak evil against me, saying, 'When will he die and his name perish?'
Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí [preguntando]: ¿Cuándo morirá, y perecerá su nombre?
6 If my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about it.
Y si venía á ver[me], hablaba mentira: su corazón se amontonaba iniquidad; y salido fuera, hablába[la].
7 All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they hope for my hurt.
Reunidos murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían: contra mí pensaban mal, [diciendo de mí]:
8 They say, “An evil disease holds on tightly to him; now that he is lying down, he will rise up no more.”
Cosa pestilencial de él se ha apoderado; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá á levantarse.
9 Indeed, even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up 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 you, Yahweh, have mercy on me and raise me up so that I may pay them back.
Mas tú, Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, y daréles el pago.
11 By this I know that you delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
En esto habré conocido que te he agradado, que mi enemigo no se holgará de mí.
12 As for me, you support me in my integrity and will keep me before your face forever.
En cuanto á mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.
13 May Yahweh, the God of Israel be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, por siglos de siglos. Amén y Amén.
