Salmos 41

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

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

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

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

The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

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

I said, “LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

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

My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

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

If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

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

All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

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

“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”

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

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

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

But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

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

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

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

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

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

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.
