诗篇 41
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
在病患中祈求康复
大卫的诗，交给诗班长。
41 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：
“他甚么时候死呢？他的名字甚么时候消灭呢？”
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。
Psalm 41
EasyEnglish Bible
David wrote this song for the music leader.
A prayer[a]
41 If someone is kind to poor people,
God blesses him.
When he is in trouble,
the Lord rescues him.
2 The Lord keeps him safe.
The Lord saves his life!
God causes him to be happy
here in the land where he lives.
The Lord will not put him under the power of his enemies.
3 The Lord takes care of him
when he is ill in bed.
Whenever he is ill,
you will make him completely well again.
4 I said, ‘Lord be kind to me
and forgive me.
I have done wrong things against you,
but please make me well again.’
5 My enemies say cruel things about me.
They say, ‘Surely he must die soon!
Then everyone will forget about him.’
6 When they come to see me,
they say that they are my friends.
But they think of ways to make me ashamed.
When they leave,
they tell everyone bad things about me.
7 All the people who hate me
insult me to other people.
My enemies make plans to hurt me.
8 They say, ‘He has a dangerous disease.
He will never get up from his bed.’
9 Even my special friend has turned against me.
He was someone that I trusted.
I often ate food with him in my home.[b]
10 But you, Lord, please be kind to me.
Raise me up to be well again.
Then I can punish my enemies as they have punished me.[c]
11 They have not won against me,
so I know that you are pleased with me!
12 You continue to help me because I do what is right.
You will let me stay near to you for ever.
13 Let us all praise the Lord,
who is Israel's great God!
Yes, praise him now and for ever!
Amen! Amen!
Footnotes
- 41:1 David wrote this psalm when he was ill. He says he was ill because he had not obeyed God's laws. When David was ill, many people came to visit him. David thought that they were his friends, but they were not. They wanted him to die so that there would be a new king. One of David's visitors was his best friend, but he was not kind to David. It is only God who can really take care of David.
- 41:9 Jesus used these words to speak about Judas. See John 13:18.
- 41:10 David was king, so it was his job to punish his enemies for the bad things that they had done to him.
Psalm 41
King James Version
41 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4 I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
