诗篇41:
1(大卫的诗,交与伶长。)眷顾贫穷的有福了。他遭难的日子,耶和华必搭救他。
2耶和华必保全他,使他存活。他必在地上享福。求你不要把他交给仇敌,遂其所愿。
3他病重在榻,耶和华必扶持他。他在病中,你必给他铺床。
4我曾说,耶和华啊,求你怜恤我,医治我。因为我得罪了你。
5我的仇敌用恶言议论我,说,他几时死,他的名才灭亡呢?
6他来看我,就说假话。他心存奸恶,走到外边才说出来。
7一切恨我的,都交头接耳的议论我。他们设计要害我。
8他们说,有怪病贴在他身上。他已躺卧,必不能再起来。
9连我知己的朋友,我所倚靠吃过我饭的,也用脚踢我。
10耶和华啊,求你怜恤我,使我起来,好报复他们。
11因我的仇敌不得向我夸胜。我从此便知道你喜爱我。
12你因我纯正,就扶持我,使我永远站在你的面前。
13耶和华以色列的神,是应当称颂的,从亘古直到永远。阿们,阿们。
1Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor!The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble.
2The Lord protects themand keeps them alive.He gives them prosperity in the landand rescues them from their enemies.
3The Lord nurses them when they are sickand restores them to health.
4“O Lord,” I prayed, “have mercy on me.Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5But my enemies say nothing but evil about me.“How soon will he die and be forgotten?” they ask.
6They visit me as if they were my friends,but all the while they gather gossip,and when they leave, they spread it everywhere.
7All who hate me whisper about me,imagining the worst.
8“He has some fatal disease,” they say.“He will never get out of that bed!”
9Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely,the one who shared my food, has turned against me.
10 Lord, have mercy on me.Make me well again, so I can pay them back!
11I know you are pleased with me,for you have not let my enemies triumph over me.
12You have preserved my life because I am innocent;you have brought me into your presence forever.
13Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,who lives from everlasting to everlasting.Amen and amen!
