Psalms 41

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Blessed is he who considers the poor and needy. YHWH will deliver him in the day of evil.

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

2 YHWH will protect him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

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

3 YHWH will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

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

4 I said, "YHWH, have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

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

5 My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

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

6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

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

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

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

8 "A wicked thing is poured out on him; and he who lies down will not rise again."

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

9 Even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

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

10 But you, YHWH, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

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

11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

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

12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

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

13 Blessed be YHWH, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen and amen.

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