Salmos 41

1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. BIENAVENTURADO el que piensa en el pobre: en el día malo lo librará Jehová.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

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

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

3 Jehová lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor: mullirás toda su cama en su enfermedad.

Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

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

I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

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

Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying], When will he die, and his name perish?

6 Y si venía á ver[me], hablaba mentira: su corazón se amontonaba iniquidad; y salido fuera, hablába[la].

And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

7 Reunidos murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían: contra mí pensaban mal, [diciendo de mí]:

All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.

8 Cosa pestilencial de él se ha apoderado; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá á levantarse.

An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

9 Aun el hombre de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que de mi pan comía, alzó contra mí el calcañar.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

10 Mas tú, Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, y daréles el pago.

But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.

11 En esto habré conocido que te he agradado, que mi enemigo no se holgará de mí.

By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 En cuanto á mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever.

13 Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, por siglos de siglos. Amén y Amén.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
