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

Psalm 41
For the worship leader. A song of David.
The first four books of Psalms end with a variation of the doxology found in verse 13: “Blessed is the Eternal, the True God of Israel. Always and Eternal. Amen and Amen.” This declaration not only provides a natural break—a seam—between the five books, but it also summarizes an essential theme of the psalms. You see, the Book of Psalms is primarily a book of praise to God for His creation, mercy, and salvation. Even when life is hard, our enemies strong, and our health poor, God can be praised for life itself and the ultimate victory to come for those who trust Him.
1 Blessed are those who consider the helpless.
The Eternal will stay near them, leading them to safety in times of bitter struggle.
2 The Eternal defends them and preserves them,
and His blessing will find them in the land He gave them.
He moves ahead to frustrate their enemies’ plans.
3 When sickness comes, the Eternal is beside them—
to comfort them on their sickbeds and restore them to health.
4 And me? I cry out to Him,
“Heal my soul, O Eternal One, and show mercy
because I have sinned against You!”
5 My enemies are talking about me even now:
“When will death come for him and his name be forgotten?”
6 As they sit with me under my roof, their well wishes are empty lies.
They listen to my story
and then turn it around to tell their own version on the street.
7 Across the city, crowds whisper lies about me.
Their hate is strong, and they search for ways to harm me.
8 Some are saying: “Some vile disease has gotten hold of him.
The bed he lies in will be his deathbed.”
9 Even my best friend, my confidant
who has eaten my bread will stab me in the back.[a]
10 But You, Eternal One, show mercy to me.
Extend Your gracious hand, and help me up.
I need to pay them back for what they’ve done to me.
11 I realize now that Your favor has come to me,
for my enemies have yet to declare victory over me.
12 You know and uphold me—a man of honor.
You grant me strength and life forever in Your presence.
13 Blessed is the Eternal, the True God of Israel.
Always and Eternal. Amen and Amen.

Psalm 41
Modern English Version
Psalm 41
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.
1 Blessed are those who consider the poor;
the Lord will deliver them in the day of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve them and keep them alive,
and they will be blessed on the earth,
and You will not deliver them to the will of their enemies.
3 The Lord will sustain them on the sickbed;
You will restore all his lying down in his illness.
4 I said, “Lord, be gracious to me;
heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
5 My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6 And if people come to see me, they speak insincerely;
their heart gathers iniquity to itself,
when they go outside, they tell it.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
they devise harm against me.
8 “An evil disease clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will not rise up again.”
9 Yes, my own close friend,
in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread,
has lifted up the heel against me.
10 But You, O Lord, be gracious to me,
and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You favor me,
because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
and set me before You forever.
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
from everlasting and to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.
