Psalms 41

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.

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

2 May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

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

3 May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; you have made all his bed in his sickness.

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

4 I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.

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

5 Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?

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

6 And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

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

7 All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

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

8 They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

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

9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me.

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

10 But you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

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

11 By this I know that you have delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

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

12 But you did help me because of [mine] innocence, and have established me before you for ever.

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

13 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.

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