Salmos 41

1 Al Vencedor: Salmo de David. Bienaventurado el que entiende sobre el pobre; en el día malo lo librará el SEÑOR.

Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

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

The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

3 El SEÑOR lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor; mullirás toda su cama en su enfermedad.

The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.

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

I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

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

My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?

6 Y si alguno venía a verme, hablaba mentira; su corazón amontonaba iniquidad; y salido fuera, la hablaba.

And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.

7 Congregados murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían; contra mí pensaban mal, diciendo de mí:

All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.

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

They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

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

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

10 Mas tú, SEÑOR, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, y les daré el pago.

But thou, 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 know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

12 En cuanto a mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, y me has asentado delante de ti para siempre.

But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.

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

Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
