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 chief musician. A psalm of David. Blessed is he who is concerned for the weak; in the day of trouble, Yahweh will rescue him.

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

Yahweh will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will of his enemies.

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

Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.

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

I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

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

My enemies speak evil against me, saying, 'When will 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.

If my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about it.

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

All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they hope for my hurt.

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

They say, “An evil disease holds on tightly to him; now that he is lying down, he will rise up no more.”

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

Indeed, even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

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

But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me and raise me up so that I may pay them back.

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

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

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

As for me, you support me in my integrity and will keep me before your face forever.

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

May Yahweh, the God of Israel be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
