Salmos 41

1 Bienaventurado el que entiende sobre el pobre; en el día malo le libre Jehová.

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Happy is he who hath regard to the poor! The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

2 Jehová le guarde, y le dé vida; sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no le entregues a la voluntad de sus enemigos.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; He shall be happy on the earth; Thou wilt not give him up to the will of his enemies!

3 Jehová le sustentará sobre la cama de dolor; toda su cama revolviste en su enfermedad.

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of disease; All his bed thou wilt change in his sickness.

4 Yo dije: Jehová, ten misericordia de mí; sana a mi alma, porque he pecado contra ti.

I said, O LORD! be merciful to me! Heal me, for I have sinned against thee!

5 Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí: ¿Cuándo morirá, y perecerá su nombre?

My enemies speak evil of me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

6 Y si me venía a ver, hablaba mentira: su corazón le amontonaba iniquidad: salido fuera, hablaba.

If one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth malice; When he goeth abroad, he uttereth it.

7 Congregados murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían; contra mí pensaban mal para mí.

All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise mischief:

8 Cosa pestilencial, dicen, se ha pegado en él; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá a levantarse.

“A deadly disease cleaveth fast unto him; He lieth down, and he shall never arise!”

9 Aun el varón de mi paz, en quien confiaba; el que comía mi pan, engrandeció contra mí el calcañar.

Yea, my familiar friend in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, —He hath lifted up his heel against me.

10 Mas tú Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y házme levantar; y pagárles he.

But do thou, O LORD! have pity upon me; Raise me up, that I may requite them!

11 En esto conocí que te he agradado, porque mi enemigo no triunfará contra mí.

By this I know that thou favorest me, Because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 Y yo en mi integridad me has sustentado: y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

As for me, thou wilt uphold me in my integrity; Thou wilt set me before thy face for ever!

13 Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, de siglo a siglo. Amén, y Amén.

[Praised be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen! Amen!]
