Mazmur 41

1 Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. Berbahagialah orang yang memperhatikan orang lemah! TUHAN akan meluputkan dia pada waktu celaka.

Blessed is he who considers a poor man. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

2 TUHAN akan melindungi dia dan memelihara nyawanya, sehingga ia disebut berbahagia di bumi; Engkau takkan membiarkan dia dipermainkan musuhnya!

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth. And thou do not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

3 TUHAN membantu dia di ranjangnya waktu sakit; di tempat tidurnya Kaupulihkannya sama sekali dari sakitnya.

Jehovah will support him upon the bed of languishing. Thou will make all his bed in his sickness.

4 Kalau aku, kataku: "TUHAN, kasihanilah aku, sembuhkanlah aku, sebab terhadap Engkaulah aku berdosa!"

I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

5 Musuhku mengatakan yang jahat tentang aku: "Bilakah ia mati, dan namanya hilang lenyap?"

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

6 Orang yang datang menjenguk, berkata dusta; hatinya penuh kejahatan, lalu ia keluar menceritakannya di jalan.

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

7 Semua orang yang benci kepadaku berbisik-bisik bersama-sama tentang aku, mereka merancangkan yang jahat terhadap aku:

All who hate me whisper together against me. Against me they devise my hurt.

8 "Penyakit jahanam telah menimpa dia, sekali ia berbaring, takkan bangun-bangun lagi."

An evil disease, they say, clings firm to him. And now that he lies he shall rise up no more.

9 Bahkan sahabat karibku yang kupercayai, yang makan rotiku, telah mengangkat tumitnya terhadap aku.

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

10 Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah aku dan tegakkanlah aku, maka aku hendak mengadakan pembalasan terhadap mereka.

But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.

11 Dengan demikian aku tahu, bahwa Engkau berkenan kepadaku, apabila musuhku tidak bersorak-sorai karena aku.

By this I know that thou delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

12 Tetapi aku, Engkau menopang aku karena ketulusanku, Engkau membuat aku tegak di hadapan-Mu untuk selama-lamanya.

And as for me, thou uphold me in my integrity, and set me before thy face forever.

13 Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya! Amin, ya amin.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Truly, and Truly.
