Salmos 41

1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. BIENAVENTURADO el que piensa en el pobre: en el día malo lo librará Jehová.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

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

May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries.

3 Jehová lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor: mullirás toda su cama en su enfermedad.

May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.

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

I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.”

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

My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?

6 Y si venía á ver[me], hablaba mentira: su corazón se amontonaba iniquidad; y salido fuera, hablába[la].

And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way.

7 Reunidos murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían: contra mí pensaban mal, [diciendo de mí]:

All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.

8 Cosa pestilencial de él se ha apoderado; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá á levantarse.

They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?

9 Aun el hombre de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que de mi pan comía, alzó contra mí el calcañar.

For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.

10 Mas tú, Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, y daréles el pago.

But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them.

11 En esto habré conocido que te he agradado, que mi enemigo no se holgará de mí.

By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me.

12 En cuanto á mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.

13 Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, por siglos de siglos. Amén y Amén.

Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen.
