Psalms 41

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble.

Blagoslovljen je, kdor misli na ubogega. Gospod ga bo osvobodil v času stiske.

2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Gospod ga bo varoval in ga ohranil živega in blagoslovljen bo na zemlji in ti ga nočeš izročiti volji njegovih sovražnikov.

3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

Gospod ga bo okrepil na postelji slabljenja. Zamenjal boš vso njegovo posteljo v njegovi bolezni.

4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Rekel sem: » Gospod, bodi mi usmiljen. Ozdravi mojo dušo, kajti grešil sem zoper tebe.«

5 My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

Moji sovražniki zlobno govorijo o meni: »Kdaj bo umrl in njegovo ime izgine?«

6 And if he cometh to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

Če pride, da me vidi, govori prazne reči. Njegovo srce k sebi zbira krivičnost; ko hodi proč od bivališča, to pripoveduje.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

Vsi, ki me sovražijo, skupaj šepetajo zoper mene, zoper mene snujejo mojo bolečino.

8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast to him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise no more.

Zla bolezen, pravijo, se ga trdno drži, in sedaj, ko leži, ne bo več vstal.

9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

Da, moj lastni zaupni prijatelj, v katerega sem zaupal, ki je jedel od mojega kruha, je dvignil svojo peto zoper mene.

10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

Toda ti, oh Gospod, mi bodi usmiljen in me dvigni, da jim lahko poplačam.

11 By this I know that thou favorest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

Po tem spoznam, da me ti podpiraš, ker moj sovražnik ne slavi zmage nad menoj.

12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

Kar se mene tiče, me podpiraš v moji neokrnjenosti in me postavljaš pred svoje obličje na veke.

13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and amen.

Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, od večnosti in do večnosti. Amen in Amen.
