Salmos 41

1 Para el músico principal. Un salmo de David. Dichoso el que considera a los pobres. Yahvé lo librará en el día del mal.

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 Yahvé lo preservará y lo mantendrá con vida. Será bendecido en la tierra, y no lo entregará a la voluntad de sus enemigos.

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 Yahvé lo sostendrá en su lecho de enfermo, y restaurarlo de su lecho de enfermedad.

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

4 Dije: “¡Yahvé, ten piedad de mí! Cúrame, porque he pecado contra ti”.

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

5 Mis enemigos hablan mal de mí: “¿Cuándo morirá y perecerá su nombre?”

Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?

6 Si viene a verme, habla con falsedad. Su corazón recoge la iniquidad para sí mismo. Cuando va al extranjero, lo cuenta.

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 Todos los que me odian susurran juntos contra mí. Se imaginan lo peor para mí.

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

8 “Una mala enfermedad”, dicen, “lo ha afligido. Ahora que yace no se levantará más”.

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

9 Sí, mi propio amigo familiar, en quien confié, que comió el pan conmigo, ha levantado su talón contra mí.

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

10 Pero tú, Yahvé, ten piedad de mí y levántame, para que yo les pague.

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

11 Por esto sé que te deleitas en mí, porque mi enemigo no triunfa sobre mí.

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

12 En cuanto a mí, me sostienes en mi integridad, y ponme en tu presencia para siempre.

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

13 Benditosea Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, ¡desde la eternidad y hasta la eternidad! Amén y amén.

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