Psalms 41

1 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.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Berbahagialah orang yang memperhatikan orang yang lemah; TUHAN akan menolong dia di waktu kesesakan.

2 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.

TUHAN akan melindungi dan memelihara dia, Ia akan membahagiakannya di bumi, dan tidak menyerahkan dia ke tangan musuhnya.

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

TUHAN akan menolong dia pada waktu sakit, dan memulihkan kesehatannya.

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

Kataku, "Aku telah berdosa terhadap-Mu, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah aku dan sembuhkanlah aku."

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

Musuhku mengatakan yang jahat tentang aku, mereka ingin agar aku mati dan dilupakan.

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

Orang-orang yang menjenguk aku tidak tulus ikhlas. Mereka mengumpulkan kabar buruk tentang aku, lalu menyiarkannya ke mana-mana.

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

Semua yang membenci aku berbisik-bisik; mereka mengatakan yang paling jelek tentang aku.

8 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.

Kata mereka, "Penyakitnya parah sekali, ia tak mungkin bangun lagi."

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

Bahkan kawan karib yang paling kupercayai, orang yang makan bersamaku, telah menghina aku.

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

Kasihanilah aku ya TUHAN, sembuhkanlah aku, agar aku dapat membalas kejahatan lawan-lawanku.

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

Kalau aku tidak dikalahkan musuhku, tahulah aku bahwa Engkau berkenan kepadaku.

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

Engkau menolong aku karena ketulusanku, dan membuat aku hidup bersama-Mu untuk selamanya.

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

Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel! Pujilah Dia sekarang dan selama-lamanya! Jadilah demikian. Amin!
