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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
