诗篇 41
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。
2 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。
3 他们生病在床，
耶和华必看顾，
使他们康复。
4 我祷告说：“耶和华啊，
求你怜悯我，医治我，
因为我得罪了你。”
5 我的仇敌恶狠狠地说：
“他何时才会死，
并且被人遗忘呢？”
6 他们来看我时，
心怀恶意，满口谎言，
出去后散布流言。
7 所有恨我的人都交头接耳，
设计害我。
8 他们说：“他患了恶病，
再也起不来了！”
9 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
New Life Version
Prayer of a Sick Man about False Friends
41 Happy is the man who cares for the poor. The Lord will save him in times of trouble. 2 The Lord will keep him alive and safe. And he will be happy upon the earth. You will not give him over to the desire of those who hate him. 3 The Lord will give him strength on his bed of sickness. When he is sick, You will make him well again.
4 As for me, I said, “O Lord, have loving-kindness for me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.” 5 Those who hate me speak bad words against me, saying, “When will he die, and his name be forgotten?” 6 When one comes to see me, he speaks lies. His heart gathers up bad stories. Then he goes outside and tells them. 7 All who hate me speak in secret together against me. They make plans to hurt me, saying, 8 “A bad thing has come over him. When he lies down, he will not rise again.” 9 Even a friend of mine whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has turned against me.
10 Have loving-kindness for me, O Lord. Raise me up, so that I may pay them back. 11 Then I will know that You are pleased with me, because he who hates me does not win over me. 12 As for me, You hold me up in my honesty. And You set me beside You forever.
13 Honor be to the Lord, the God of Israel, forever and ever! Let it be so!
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.
