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 of David. Blessed is he who is concerned for the weak; in the day of trouble, Yahweh will rescue him.

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

Yahweh will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will of his enemies.

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

Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.

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

I said, “Yahweh, 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, saying, '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 my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about 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; against me they hope for my hurt.

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

They say, “An evil disease holds on tightly to him; now that he is lying down, he will rise up no more.”

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

Indeed, 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, Yahweh, have mercy on me and raise me up so that I may pay them back.

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, for my enemy does not 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 support me in my integrity and will keep me before your face forever.

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

May Yahweh, the God of Israel be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
