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.

Bienaventurado el que entiende sobre el pobre; en el día malo le libre Jehová.

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.

Jehová le guarde, y le dé vida; sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no le entregues a la voluntad de sus enemigos.

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

Jehová le sustentará sobre la cama de dolor; toda su cama revolviste en su enfermedad.

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

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

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

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

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.

Y si me venía a ver, hablaba mentira: su corazón le amontonaba iniquidad: salido fuera, hablaba.

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

Congregados murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían; contra mí pensaban mal para mí.

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

Cosa pestilencial, dicen, se ha pegado en él; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá a levantarse.

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

Aun el varón de mi paz, en quien confiaba; el que comía mi pan, engrandeció contra mí el calcañar.

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

Mas tú Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y házme levantar; y pagárles he.

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

En esto conocí que te he agradado, porque mi enemigo no triunfará contra mí.

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

Y yo en mi integridad me has sustentado: y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

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

Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, de siglo a siglo. Amén, y Amén.
