Salmos 41

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

Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

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

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and you will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

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

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness.

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

I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.

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

Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall 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 comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells 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, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he lies 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, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

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

But you, O LORD, be merciful unto 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 you favour me, because mine enemy does 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, you uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before your face for ever.

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

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