Salmos 41

1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. BIENAVENTURADO el que piensa en el pobre: en el día malo lo librará Jehová.

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.

2 Jehová lo guarde, y le dé vida: sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no lo entregues á la voluntad de sus enemigos.

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.

3 Jehová lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor: mullirás toda su cama en su enfermedad.

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

4 Yo dije: Jehová, ten misericordia de mí; sana mi alma, porque contra ti he pecado.

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

5 Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí [preguntando]: ¿Cuándo morirá, y perecerá su nombre?

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

6 Y si venía á ver[me], hablaba mentira: su corazón se amontonaba iniquidad; y salido fuera, hablába[la].

And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

7 Reunidos murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían: contra mí pensaban mal, [diciendo de mí]:

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

8 Cosa pestilencial de él se ha apoderado; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá á levantarse.

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

9 Aun el hombre de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que de mi pan comía, alzó contra mí el calcañar.

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

10 Mas tú, Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, y daréles el pago.

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

11 En esto habré conocido que te he agradado, que mi enemigo no se holgará de mí.

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

12 En cuanto á mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

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

13 Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, por siglos de siglos. Amén y Amén.

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