Psalms 41

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the 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 give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries.

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

3 May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.

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

4 I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.”

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

5 My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?

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

6 And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way.

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

7 All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.

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

8 They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?

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

9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.

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

10 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them.

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

11 By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me.

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

12 But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.

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

13 Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen.

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