Mazmur 41

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

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD 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!

The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.

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

The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.

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

As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'

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

Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'

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

And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.

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

All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:

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

'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'

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

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath 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 LORD, be gracious unto 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 delightest in me, that mine enemy doth 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 upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.

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

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