Psalms 41

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

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 Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!

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 Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.

他病重在榻，耶和华必扶持他； 他在病中，你必给他铺床。

4 I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:

我曾说：耶和华啊，求你怜恤我，医治我！ 因为我得罪了你。

5 Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?

我的仇敌用恶言议论我说： 他几时死，他的名才灭亡呢？

6 And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.

他来看我就说假话； 他心存奸恶，走到外边才说出来。

7 Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.

一切恨我的，都交头接耳地议论我； 他们设计要害我。

8 An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

他们说：有怪病贴在他身上； 他已躺卧，必不能再起来。

9 Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified his heel 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, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.

耶和华啊，求你怜恤我， 使我起来，好报复他们！

11 Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.

因我的仇敌不得向我夸胜， 我从此便知道你喜爱我。

12 But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.

你因我纯正就扶持我， 使我永远站在你的面前。

13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: 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！
