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.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. Berbahagialah orang yang memperhatikan orang lemah! TUHAN akan meluputkan dia pada waktu celaka.
2 He will keep them safe, happy, and long in the land, and not give them up to the rage of their foes.
TUHAN akan melindungi dia dan memelihara nyawanya, sehingga ia disebut berbahagia di bumi; Engkau takkan membiarkan dia dipermainkan musuhnya!
3 The Lord will sustain them on bed of languishing; tending their sickness, as long as they lie.
TUHAN membantu dia di ranjangnya waktu sakit; di tempat tidurnya Kaupulihkannya sama sekali dari sakitnya.
4 For this cause I say, ‘Lord, show me your favour; heal me, because I have sinned against you.’
Kalau aku, kataku: "TUHAN, kasihanilah aku, sembuhkanlah aku, sebab terhadap Engkaulah aku berdosa!"
5 My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, ‘When will he die, and his name pass away?’
Musuhku mengatakan yang jahat tentang aku: "Bilakah ia mati, dan namanya hilang lenyap?"
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.
Orang yang datang menjenguk, berkata dusta; hatinya penuh kejahatan, lalu ia keluar menceritakannya di jalan.
7 In secret they whisper together against me, all those who hate me plot evil against me.
Semua orang yang benci kepadaku berbisik-bisik bersama-sama tentang aku, mereka merancangkan yang jahat terhadap aku:
8 ‘Some fatal disease has fastened upon him; and now that he lies, he will rise up no more.’
"Penyakit jahanam telah menimpa dia, sekali ia berbaring, takkan bangun-bangun lagi."
9 My most trusted friend, on whom I relied, who ate of my bread, has turned against me.
Bahkan sahabat karibku yang kupercayai, yang makan rotiku, telah mengangkat tumitnya terhadap aku.
10 But do you, Lord, graciously raise me up, that I may pay them their due reward.
Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, kasihanilah aku dan tegakkanlah aku, maka aku hendak mengadakan pembalasan terhadap mereka.
11 By this will I know you delight in me: if my foes may not shout over me in triumph.
Dengan demikian aku tahu, bahwa Engkau berkenan kepadaku, apabila musuhku tidak bersorak-sorai karena aku.
12 For my innocence you uphold me, and set me forever before your face.
Tetapi aku, Engkau menopang aku karena ketulusanku, Engkau membuat aku tegak di hadapan-Mu untuk selama-lamanya.
13 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, Amen and Amen.
Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya! Amin, ya amin.
