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.

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!

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.

Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.

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

Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.

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

Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”

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

Neprijatelji zlo govore o meni: “Kad će umrijeti i kad će mu nestati imena?”

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.

I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.

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

Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:

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

“Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila.” Ili: “Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje.”

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

Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.

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

A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.

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

Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.

12 But thou didst help me because of [mine] innocence, and hast established me before thee for ever.

A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.

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

Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!
