詩篇 41
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
遘疾時怨契友言行虛偽
41 大衛的詩，交於伶長。
1 眷顧貧窮的有福了！他遭難的日子，耶和華必搭救他。
2 耶和華必保全他，使他存活，他必在地上享福——求你不要把他交給仇敵，遂其所願。
3 他病重在榻，耶和華必扶持他；他在病中，你必給他鋪床。
4 我曾說：「耶和華啊，求你憐恤我，醫治我，因為我得罪了你。」
5 我的仇敵用惡言議論我說：「他幾時死，他的名才滅亡呢？」
6 他來看我，就說假話；他心存奸惡，走到外邊才說出來。
7 一切恨我的，都交頭接耳地議論我，他們設計要害我。
8 他們說：「有怪病貼在他身上，他已躺臥，必不能再起來。」
9 連我知己的朋友，我所倚靠吃過我飯的，也用腳踢我。
10 耶和華啊，求你憐恤我，使我起來，好報復他們。
11 因我的仇敵不得向我誇勝，我從此便知道你喜愛我。
12 你因我純正，就扶持我，使我永遠站在你的面前。
13 耶和華以色列的神是應當稱頌的，從亙古直到永遠！阿們，阿們。
Psalm 41
The Message
41 1-3 Dignify those who are down on their luck;
you’ll feel good—that’s what God does.
God looks after us all,
makes us robust with life—
Lucky to be in the land,
we’re free from enemy worries.
Whenever we’re sick and in bed,
God becomes our nurse,
nurses us back to health.
4-7 I said, “God, be gracious!
Put me together again—
my sins have torn me to pieces.”
My enemies are wishing the worst for me;
they make bets on what day I will die.
If someone comes to see me,
he mouths empty platitudes,
All the while gathering gossip about me
to entertain the street-corner crowd.
These “friends” who hate me
whisper slanders all over town.
They form committees
to plan misery for me.
8-9 The rumor goes out, “He’s got some dirty,
deadly disease. The doctors
have given up on him.”
Even my best friend, the one I always told everything
—he ate meals at my house all the time!—
has bitten my hand.
10 God, give grace, get me up on my feet.
I’ll show them a thing or two.
11-12 Meanwhile, I’m sure you’re on my side—
no victory shouts yet from the enemy camp!
You know me inside and out, you hold me together,
you never fail to stand me tall in your presence
so I can look you in the eye.
13 Blessed is God, Israel’s God,
always, always, always.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
