Mazmur 41

1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Berbahagialah orang yang memperhatikan orang yang lemah; TUHAN akan menolong dia di waktu kesesakan.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

2 TUHAN akan melindungi dan memelihara dia, Ia akan membahagiakannya di bumi, dan tidak menyerahkan dia ke tangan musuhnya.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

3 TUHAN akan menolong dia pada waktu sakit, dan memulihkan kesehatannya.

The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

4 Kataku, "Aku telah berdosa terhadap-Mu, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah aku dan sembuhkanlah aku."

I said, “LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

5 Musuhku mengatakan yang jahat tentang aku, mereka ingin agar aku mati dan dilupakan.

My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

6 Orang-orang yang menjenguk aku tidak tulus ikhlas. Mereka mengumpulkan kabar buruk tentang aku, lalu menyiarkannya ke mana-mana.

If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

7 Semua yang membenci aku berbisik-bisik; mereka mengatakan yang paling jelek tentang aku.

All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

8 Kata mereka, "Penyakitnya parah sekali, ia tak mungkin bangun lagi."

“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”

9 Bahkan kawan karib yang paling kupercayai, orang yang makan bersamaku, telah menghina aku.

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 Kasihanilah aku ya TUHAN, sembuhkanlah aku, agar aku dapat membalas kejahatan lawan-lawanku.

But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

11 Kalau aku tidak dikalahkan musuhku, tahulah aku bahwa Engkau berkenan kepadaku.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

12 Engkau menolong aku karena ketulusanku, dan membuat aku hidup bersama-Mu untuk selamanya.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

13 Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel! Pujilah Dia sekarang dan selama-lamanya! Jadilah demikian. Amin!

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.
