在病患中祈求康復

大衛的詩,交給詩班長。

41 關懷窮乏人的有福了;

在遭難的日子,耶和華必救他。

耶和華要保護他,使他生存;

他在地上要稱為有福的;

求你不要照著他敵人的心願把他交給他們。

他患病在床,耶和華必扶持他;

在病榻中你使他恢復健康。

至於我,我曾說:“耶和華啊!求你恩待我;

求你醫治我,因為我得罪了你。”

我的仇敵用惡毒的話中傷我,說:

“他甚麼時候死呢?他的名字甚麼時候消滅呢?”

即使他來看我,說的也是假話;

他把奸詐積存在心裡,

走到外面才說出來。

所有憎恨我的人,都交頭接耳地議論我;

他們設惡計要害我,說:

“有惡疾臨到他身上;

他既然躺下了,就必一病不起。”

連我信任的密友,

就是那吃我飯的,

也用腳踢我。

10 至於你,耶和華啊!求你恩待我,

使我康復起來,好報復他們。

11 因此我就知道你喜愛我,

因為我的仇敵不能向我歡呼誇勝。

12 至於我,你因為我正直,就扶持我;

你使我永遠站在你面前。

13 耶和華以色列的 神是應當稱頌的,

從永遠直到永遠。

阿們,阿們。

The Blessing and Suffering of the Godly

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

41 Blessed is he who considers the [a]poor;
The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,
And he will be blessed on the earth;
(A)You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
You will [b]sustain him on his sickbed.

I said, “Lord, be merciful to me;
(B)Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
And if he comes to see me, he speaks [c]lies;
His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
When he goes out, he tells it.

All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they [d]devise my hurt.
“An[e] evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”
(C)Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
(D)Who ate my bread,
Has [f]lifted up his heel against me.

10 But You, O Lord, be merciful to me, and raise me up,
That I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And (E)set me before Your face forever.

13 (F)Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.
