Salmos 41

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

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him Who is acting wisely to the poor, In a day of evil YHWH delivers him.

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

YHWH preserves him and revives him, He is blessed in the land, And You do not give him into the will of his enemies.

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

YHWH supports [him] on a bed of sickness, You have turned his bed in his weakness.

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

I said, “O YHWH, favor me, Heal my soul, for I sinned against You,”

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

My enemies say evil of me: When he dies—his name has perished!

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

And if he came to see—he speaks vanity, His heart gathers iniquity to itself, He goes out—at the street he speaks.

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

All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

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

A worthless thing is poured out on him, And because he lay down he does not rise again.

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

Even my ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, Made the heel great against me,

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

And You, YHWH, favor me, And cause me to rise, And I give repayment to them.

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

By this I have known, That You have delighted in me, Because my enemy does not shout over me.

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

As for me, in my integrity, You have taken hold on me, And cause me to stand before You for all time.

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

Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age to age. Amen and Amen.
