Psalm 41
New International Version
Psalm 41[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 Blessed(A) are those who have regard for the weak;(B)
the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.(C)
2 The Lord protects(D) and preserves them—(E)
they are counted among the blessed in the land—(F)
he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.(G)
3 The Lord sustains them on their sickbed(H)
and restores them from their bed of illness.(I)
4 I said, “Have mercy(J) on me, Lord;
heal(K) me, for I have sinned(L) against you.”
5 My enemies say of me in malice,
“When will he die and his name perish?(M)”
6 When one of them comes to see me,
he speaks falsely,(N) while his heart gathers slander;(O)
then he goes out and spreads(P) it around.
7 All my enemies whisper together(Q) against me;
they imagine the worst for me, saying,
8 “A vile disease has afflicted him;
he will never get up(R) from the place where he lies.”
9 Even my close friend,(S)
someone I trusted,
one who shared my bread,
has turned[b] against me.(T)

Salmo 41
Oración en enfermedad y en tristeza
Para el director del coro. Salmo de David.
41 Bienaventurado el que piensa en el pobre(A);
En el día del mal el Señor lo librará(B).
2 El Señor lo protegerá y lo mantendrá con vida(C),
Y será bienaventurado sobre la tierra(D).
Tú no lo entregarás a la voluntad de sus enemigos(E).
3 El Señor lo sostendrá en su lecho de enfermo;
En su enfermedad, restaurarás su salud.
4 ¶Yo dije: «Oh Señor, ten piedad de mí;
Sana mi alma(F), porque contra Ti he pecado(G)».
5 Mis enemigos hablan mal contra mí(H), diciendo:
«¿Cuándo morirá y perecerá su nombre?».
6 Y si alguien viene a verme, habla falsedades(I);
Su corazón recoge iniquidad para sí;
Cuando sale fuera, lo publica.
7 Todos los que me odian murmuran a una contra mí;
Traman hacerme daño(J), diciendo:
8 «Una cosa del demonio[a] ha sido derramada sobre él,
Así que cuando se acueste, no volverá a levantarse(K)».
9 Aun mi íntimo amigo en quien yo confiaba,
El que de mi pan comía,
Contra mí ha levantado su talón(L).
10 ¶Pero Tú, oh Señor, ten piedad de mí y levántame(M),
Para que yo les pague como se merecen.
11 En esto sabré que conmigo te complaces(N),
Que mi enemigo no cante victoria sobre mí(O).
12 En cuanto a mí, me mantienes en mi integridad(P),
Y me afirmas en Tu presencia para siempre(Q).
13 ¶Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de Israel,
Desde la eternidad hasta la eternidad.
Amén y amén(R).

Psalm 41
King James Version
41 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4 I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
