Psalms 41
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Blessed is he who is concerned for the weak; in the day of trouble, Yahweh will rescue him.
(Til sangmesteren. En salme af David.) Salig den Mand, der tager sig af de svage, ham frelser HERREN på Ulykkens Dag;
2 Yahweh will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will of his enemies.
HERREN vogter ham, holder ham i Live, det går ham vel i Landet, han giver ham ikke i Fjendevold.
3 Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.
På Sottesengen står HERREN ham bi, hans Smertensleje gør du ham let.
4 I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
Så siger jeg da: Vær mig nådig, HERRE, helbred min Sjæl, jeg har syndet mod dig!
5 My enemies speak evil against me, saying, 'When will he die and his name perish?'
Mine Fjender ønsker mig ondt: "Hvornår mon han dør og hans Navn udslettes?"
6 If my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about it.
Kommer en i Besøg, så fører han hyklerisk Tale, hans Hjerte samler på ondt, og så går han bort og taler derom.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they hope for my hurt.
Mine Avindsmænd hvisker sammen imod mig, alle regner de med, at det går mig ilde:
8 They say, “An evil disease holds on tightly to him; now that he is lying down, he will rise up no more.”
"En dødelig Sot har grebet ham; han ligger der - kommer aldrig op!"
9 Indeed, even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
Endog min Ven, som jeg stolede på, som spiste mit Brød, har løftet Hælen imod mig.
10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me and raise me up so that I may pay them back.
Men du, o HERRE, vær mig nådig og rejs mig, så jeg kan øve Gengæld imod dem.
11 By this I know that you delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
Deraf kan jeg kende, at du har mig kær, at min Fjende ikke skal juble over mig.
12 As for me, you support me in my integrity and will keep me before your face forever.
Du holder mig oppe i Kraft af min Uskyld, lader mig stå for dit Åsyn til evig Tid.
13 May Yahweh, the God of Israel be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
Lovet være HERREN, Israels Gud, fra Evighed og til Evighed, Amen, Amen!
