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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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