Psalmi 41

1 Blagoslovljen je, kdor misli na ubogega. Gospod ga bo osvobodil v času stiske.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

2 Gospod ga bo varoval in ga ohranil živega in blagoslovljen bo na zemlji in ti ga nočeš izročiti volji njegovih sovražnikov.

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

3 Gospod ga bo okrepil na postelji slabljenja. Zamenjal boš vso njegovo posteljo v njegovi bolezni.

Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

4 Rekel sem: » Gospod, bodi mi usmiljen. Ozdravi mojo dušo, kajti grešil sem zoper tebe.«

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

5 Moji sovražniki zlobno govorijo o meni: »Kdaj bo umrl in njegovo ime izgine?«

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

6 Če pride, da me vidi, govori prazne reči. Njegovo srce k sebi zbira krivičnost; ko hodi proč od bivališča, to pripoveduje.

And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

7 Vsi, ki me sovražijo, skupaj šepetajo zoper mene, zoper mene snujejo mojo bolečino.

All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.

8 Zla bolezen, pravijo, se ga trdno drži, in sedaj, ko leži, ne bo več vstal.

An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

9 Da, moj lastni zaupni prijatelj, v katerega sem zaupal, ki je jedel od mojega kruha, je dvignil svojo peto zoper mene.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

10 Toda ti, oh Gospod, mi bodi usmiljen in me dvigni, da jim lahko poplačam.

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

11 Po tem spoznam, da me ti podpiraš, ker moj sovražnik ne slavi zmage nad menoj.

By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 Kar se mene tiče, me podpiraš v moji neokrnjenosti in me postavljaš pred svoje obličje na veke.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever.

13 Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, od večnosti in do večnosti. Amen in Amen.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
