1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \41:1\Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

3 \41:2\The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

4 \41:3\The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.

5 \41:4\I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.

6 \41:5\My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?

7 \41:6\If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.

8 \41:7\All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.

9 \41:8\They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

10 \41:9\Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.

11 \41:10\But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.

12 \41:11\By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.

13 \41:12\And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.

14 \41:13\May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.

1 关怀穷乏人的有福了; 在遭难的日子, 耶和华必救他。

2 耶和华要保护他, 使他生存; 他在地上要称为有福的; 求你不要照着他敌人的心愿把他交给他们。

3 他患病在床, 耶和华必扶持他; 在病榻中你使他恢复健康。

4 至于我, 我曾说: "耶和华啊! 求你恩待我; 求你医治我, 因为我得罪了你。"

5 我的仇敌用恶毒的话中伤我, 说: "他什么时候死呢?他的名字什么时候消灭呢?"

6 即使他来看我, 说的也是假话; 他把奸诈积存在心里, 走到外面才说出来。

7 所有憎恨我的人, 都交头接耳地议论我; 他们设恶计要害我, 说:

8 "有恶疾临到他身上; 他既然躺下了, 就必一病不起。"

9 连我信任的密友, 就是那吃我饭的, 也用脚踢我。

10 至于你, 耶和华啊! 求你恩待我, 使我康复起来, 好报复他们。

11 因此我就知道你喜爱我, 因为我的仇敌不能向我欢呼夸胜。

12 至于我, 你因为我正直, 就扶持我; 你使我永远站在你面前。

13 耶和华以色列的 神是应当称颂的, 从永远直到永远。阿们, 阿们。
