Salmos 41

1 Bienaventurado el que entiende sobre el pobre; en el día malo le libre 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 le guarde, y le dé vida; sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no le entregues a 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 le sustentará sobre la cama de dolor; toda su cama revolviste 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 a mi alma, porque he pecado contra ti.

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

5 Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí: ¿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 me venía a ver, hablaba mentira: su corazón le amontonaba iniquidad: salido fuera, hablaba.

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

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

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

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

9 Aun el varón de mi paz, en quien confiaba; el que comía mi pan, engrandeció 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 házme levantar; y pagárles he.

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

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

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

12 Y yo 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, de siglo a siglo. Amén, y Amén.

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