Psalmi 41

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.

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

May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

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

May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; you have made all his bed in his sickness.

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

I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.

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

Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall 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 came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

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

All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

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

They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

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

For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me.

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

But you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

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

By this I know that you have delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

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

But you did help me because of [mine] innocence, and have established me before you for ever.

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

Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.
