Salmos 41

1 Feliz es el hombre que piensa en los pobres; el Señor será su salvador en el tiempo de angustia.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

2 El Señor lo salvará y le dará vida; el Señor lo dejará ser una bendición en la tierra, y no lo entregará en manos de sus enemigos.

The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

3 El Señor será su sostén en su lecho de dolor: por ti todo su dolor se convertirá en fortaleza.

The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.

4 Dije: Señor, ten misericordia de mí; hace bien mi alma, aunque he pecado contra ti.

I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.

5 Mis enemigos dicen mal contra mí. Preguntando ¿Cuándo morirá él, y su nombre llegará a su fin?

My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?

6 Si alguien viene a verme, la mentira está en su corazón; guardan en su memoria toda maldad, y al salir a la calle lo hace público en todo lugar.

If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.

7 Todos mis enemigos murmuran mal de mí, en secreto contra mí piensan mal, diciendo de mi:

All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.

8 Tiene una enfermedad maligna, que no lo deja ir; y ahora que ha caído, no volverá a levantarse.

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

9 Incluso mi querido amigo, en quien confiaba. que tomó pan conmigo, se volvió contra mí, alzó contra mí el calcañar.

Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.

10 Pero tú, oh Señor, ten misericordia de mí, levantándome, para que yo les dé su castigo.

But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.

11 En esto veo que tienes placer en mí, porque mi enemigo no me supera.

By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.

12 Y en cuanto a mí, tú eres mi apoyo en mi justicia, dándome un lugar delante de tu rostro para siempre.

And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.

13 Que el Señor Dios de Israel sea alabado, por los días eternos y para siempre. Que así sea. Que así sea.

May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.
