Psalm 41
New International Version
Psalm 41[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 Blessed(A) are those who have regard for the weak;(B)
the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.(C)
2 The Lord protects(D) and preserves them—(E)
they are counted among the blessed in the land—(F)
he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.(G)
3 The Lord sustains them on their sickbed(H)
and restores them from their bed of illness.(I)
4 I said, “Have mercy(J) on me, Lord;
heal(K) me, for I have sinned(L) against you.”
5 My enemies say of me in malice,
“When will he die and his name perish?(M)”
6 When one of them comes to see me,
he speaks falsely,(N) while his heart gathers slander;(O)
then he goes out and spreads(P) it around.
7 All my enemies whisper together(Q) against me;
they imagine the worst for me, saying,
8 “A vile disease has afflicted him;
he will never get up(R) from the place where he lies.”
9 Even my close friend,(S)
someone I trusted,
one who shared my bread,
has turned[b] against me.(T)

Bøn under sygdom
41 Til korlederen: En sang af David.
2 Gud velsigner dem, der tager sig af de fattige,
han hjælper dem, når de selv får problemer.
3 Han beskytter dem og holder dem i live,
han velsigner dem i landet
og redder dem fra fjendens angreb.
4 Når de er syge, tager han sig af dem
og helbreder dem fra alle deres sygdomme.
5 „Herre,” bad jeg, „jeg har syndet imod dig,
men vær nådig og helbred mig.”
6 Fjenderne siger med skadefryd: „Gid han snart må dø
og hans navn blive glemt for altid!”
7 Når de kommer og besøger mig,
tager de en venlig maske på,
men de tror på de negative rygter,
som de selv går rundt og spreder.
8 Dem, der hader mig, tænker det værste
og håber, at jeg snart er død og borte.
9 „Det er en alvorlig sygdom,” hvisker de til hinanden.
„Han kommer sig aldrig igen.”
10 Selv min nære ven, som jeg stolede på,
og som jeg spiste sammen med,
bekæmper mig.
11 Herre, vær nådig og helbred mig,
så jeg kan gengælde dem, hvad de har gjort imod mig.
12 Du har ikke ladet fjenden sejre over mig.
Derfor ved jeg, at du holder af mig.
13 Du har bevaret mig, fordi jeg var oprigtig,
og du vil altid lade mig leve i din nærhed.
14 Lovet være Herren, Israels Gud,
fra evighed og til evighed.
Amen, amen.
Psalm 41
King James Version
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.
