Psalm 41
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Psalmist in Sickness Complains of Enemies and False Friends.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
41 How blessed is he who (A)considers the [a]helpless;
The Lord will deliver him (B)in a day of [b]trouble.
2 The Lord will (C)protect him and keep him alive,
And he shall [c]be called (D)blessed upon the earth;
And (E)do not give him over to the desire of his enemies.
3 The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed;
In his illness, You [d]restore him to health.
4 As for me, I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me;
(F)Heal my soul, for (G)I have sinned against You.”
5 My enemies (H)speak evil against me,
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6 And [e]when he comes to see me, he (I)speaks [f]falsehood;
His heart gathers wickedness to itself;
When he goes outside, he tells it.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they (J)devise my hurt, saying,
8 “A wicked thing is poured out [g]upon him,
That when he lies down, he will (K)not rise up again.”
9 Even my (L)close friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me.
10 But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and (M)raise me up,
That I may repay them.
11 By this I know that (N)You are pleased with me,
Because (O)my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.
12 As for me, (P)You uphold me in my integrity,
And You set me (Q)in Your presence forever.
13 (R)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.

Mga Awit 41

Panalangin ng Isang Maysakit
Awit na katha ni David upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit.
41 Mapalad ang isang taong tumutulong sa mahirap,
si Yahweh ang kakalinga kung siya nama'y mabagabag.
2 Buhay niya'y iingatan, si Yahweh lang ang may hawak,
sa kamay man ng kaaway, hindi siya masasadlak,
at doon sa bayan niya'y ituturing na mapalad.
3 Si Yahweh rin ang tutulong kung siya ay magkasakit,
ang nanghina niyang lakas ay ganap na ibabalik.
4 Ang pahayag ko kay Yahweh, “Tunay akong nagkasala,
iyo akong pagalingin, sa akin ay mahabag ka!”
5 Yaong mga kaaway ko, ang palaging binabadya,
“Kailan ka mamamatay, ganap na mawawala?”
6 Yaong mga dumadalaw sa akin ay hindi tapat;
ang balitang masasama ang palaging sinasagap,
at saan ma'y sinasabi upang ako ay mawasak.
7 Ang lahat ng namumuhi'y ang lagi nilang usapan,
ako raw ay ubod sama, ang panabi sa bulungan.
8 Ang sakit ko, sabi nila, ay wala nang kagamutan,
hindi na makakabangon sa banig ng karamdaman.
9 Lubos(A) akong nagtiwala sa tapat kong kaibigan
kasalo ko sa tuwina, karamay sa anuman;
ngunit ngayon, lubos siyang naging taksil na kalaban.
10 Sa akin ay mahabag ka, Yahweh, ako'y kaawaan;
ibalik mo ang lakas ko't kaaway ko'y babalingan.
11 Kung ikaw ay nalulugod, ganito ko malalaman,
sa aki'y di magwawagi kahit sino ang kaaway.
12 Tulungan mo ako ngayon, yamang ako'y naging tapat.
Sa piling mo ay patuloy na ingatan akong ganap.
13 Purihin(B) si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel!
Purihin siya, ngayon at magpakailanman!
Amen! Amen!
