遘疾时怨契友言行虚伪

41 大卫的诗,交于伶长。

眷顾贫穷的有福了!他遭难的日子,耶和华必搭救他。
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。
他病重在榻,耶和华必扶持他;他在病中,你必给他铺床。
我曾说:“耶和华啊,求你怜恤我,医治我,因为我得罪了你。”
我的仇敌用恶言议论我说:“他几时死,他的名才灭亡呢?”
他来看我,就说假话;他心存奸恶,走到外边才说出来。
一切恨我的,都交头接耳地议论我,他们设计要害我。
他们说:“有怪病贴在他身上,他已躺卧,必不能再起来。”
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!阿门,阿门。

病中的祷告

大卫的诗,交给乐长。

41 善待穷人的有福了!
耶和华必救他们脱离困境。
耶和华必保护他们,
救他们的性命,
使他们在地上享福,
不让仇敌恶谋得逞。
他们生病在床,
耶和华必看顾,
使他们康复。
我祷告说:“耶和华啊,
求你怜悯我,医治我,
因为我得罪了你。”
我的仇敌恶狠狠地说:
“他何时才会死,
并且被人遗忘呢?”
他们来看我时,
心怀恶意,满口谎言,
出去后散布流言。
所有恨我的人都交头接耳,
设计害我。
他们说:“他患了恶病,
再也起不来了!”
连我所信赖、吃我饭的挚友也用脚踢我。
10 耶和华啊,
求你怜悯我,叫我痊愈,
我好报复他们。
11 我知道你喜悦我,
因为你没有让仇敌胜过我。
12 你因我正直而扶持我,
让我永远侍立在你面前。
13 从亘古到永远,
以色列的上帝耶和华当受称颂。
阿们!阿们!

Psalm 41[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

Blessed(A) are those who have regard for the weak;(B)
    the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.(C)
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)
The Lord sustains them on their sickbed(H)
    and restores them from their bed of illness.(I)

I said, “Have mercy(J) on me, Lord;
    heal(K) me, for I have sinned(L) against you.”
My enemies say of me in malice,
    “When will he die and his name perish?(M)
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.

All my enemies whisper together(Q) against me;
    they imagine the worst for me, saying,
“A vile disease has afflicted him;
    he will never get up(R) from the place where he lies.”
Even my close friend,(S)
    someone I trusted,
one who shared my bread,
    has turned[b] against me.(T)

10 But may you have mercy(U) on me, Lord;
    raise me up,(V) that I may repay(W) them.
11 I know that you are pleased with me,(X)
    for my enemy does not triumph over me.(Y)
12 Because of my integrity(Z) you uphold me(AA)
    and set me in your presence forever.(AB)

13 Praise(AC) be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(AD)
    from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.(AE)
