Salmos 41

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Blessed is he who considers the poor and needy. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

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 will protect him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him 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 will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

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

I said, "LORD, have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

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

My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

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

If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

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

All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

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

"A wicked thing is poured out on him; and he who lies down will not rise again."

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

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

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

But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

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

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

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

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

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

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen and amen.
