Psalms 41

1 For the leader; for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. Happy are those who consider the weak; in the day of misfortune the Lord will deliver them.

大卫的诗，交与伶长。 眷顾贫穷的有福了！ 他遭难的日子，耶和华必搭救他。

2 He will keep them safe, happy, and long in the land, and not give them up to the rage of their foes.

耶和华必保全他，使他存活； 他必在地上享福。 求你不要把他交给仇敌，遂其所愿。

3 The Lord will sustain them on bed of languishing; tending their sickness, as long as they lie.

他病重在榻，耶和华必扶持他； 他在病中，你必给他铺床。

4 For this cause I say, ‘Lord, show me your favour; heal me, because I have sinned against you.’

我曾说：耶和华啊，求你怜恤我，医治我！ 因为我得罪了你。

5 My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, ‘When will he die, and his name pass away?’

我的仇敌用恶言议论我说： 他几时死，他的名才灭亡呢？

6 When one comes to see me, their words ring hollow; their heart keeps gathering mischief the while; and when they go out, they give it speech.

他来看我就说假话； 他心存奸恶，走到外边才说出来。

7 In secret they whisper together against me, all those who hate me plot evil against me.

一切恨我的，都交头接耳地议论我； 他们设计要害我。

8 ‘Some fatal disease has fastened upon him; and now that he lies, he will rise up no more.’

他们说：有怪病贴在他身上； 他已躺卧，必不能再起来。

9 My most trusted friend, on whom I relied, who ate of my bread, has turned against me.

连我知己的朋友， 我所倚靠、吃过我饭的也用脚踢我。

10 But do you, Lord, graciously raise me up, that I may pay them their due reward.

耶和华啊，求你怜恤我， 使我起来，好报复他们！

11 By this will I know you delight in me: if my foes may not shout over me in triumph.

因我的仇敌不得向我夸胜， 我从此便知道你喜爱我。

12 For my innocence you uphold me, and set me forever before your face.

你因我纯正就扶持我， 使我永远站在你的面前。

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

耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的， 从亘古直到永远。阿们！阿们！
