Salmos 41
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
O cuidado de Deus para com os pobres. Davi queixa-se da traição de seus inimigos e busca o socorro de Deus
Salmo de Davi para o cantor-mor
41 Bem-aventurado é aquele que atende ao pobre; o Senhor o livrará no dia do mal. 2 O Senhor o livrará e o conservará em vida; será abençoado na terra, e tu não o entregarás à vontade de seus inimigos. 3 O Senhor o sustentará no leito da enfermidade; tu renovas a sua cama na doença.
4 Eu dizia: Senhor, tem piedade de mim; sara a minha alma, porque pequei contra ti. 5 Os meus inimigos falam mal de mim, dizendo: Quando morrerá ele, e perecerá o seu nome? 6 E, se algum deles vem ver-me, diz coisas vãs; no seu coração amontoa a maldade; em saindo para fora, é disso que fala. 7 Todos os que me aborrecem murmuram à uma contra mim; contra mim imaginam o mal, dizendo: 8 Uma doença má se lhe pegou; e, pois que está deitado, não se levantará mais. 9 Até o meu próprio amigo íntimo, em quem eu tanto confiava, que comia do meu pão, levantou contra mim o seu calcanhar.
10 Mas tu, Senhor, tem piedade de mim, e levanta-me, para que eu lhes dê o pago. 11 Por isto conheço eu que tu me favoreces: que o meu inimigo não triunfa de mim. 12 Quanto a mim, tu me sustentas na minha sinceridade e me puseste diante da tua face para sempre.
13 Bendito seja o Senhor, Deus de Israel, de século em século! Amém e amém!
Psalm 41
New King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
You will [b]sustain him on his sickbed.
4 I said, “Lord, be merciful to me;
(B)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 he comes to see me, he speaks [c]lies;
His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
When he goes out, he tells it.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they [d]devise my hurt.
8 “An[e] evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”
9 (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.

O Lord, Be Gracious to Me
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
41 (A)Blessed is the one who considers the poor![a]
(B)In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
2 the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;
he is called blessed in the land;
you (C)do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord sustains him on his sickbed;
in his illness you restore him to full health.[b]
4 As for me, I said, “O Lord, (D)be gracious to me;
(E)heal me,[c] for I have sinned against you!”
5 My enemies say of me in malice,
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6 And when one comes to see me, (F)he utters empty words,
while his heart gathers iniquity;
when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
7 All who hate me whisper together about me;
they imagine the worst for me.[d]
8 They say, “A deadly thing is poured out[e] on him;
he will not rise again from where he lies.”
9 Even my (G)close friend in whom I trusted,
who (H)ate my bread, has lifted his 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 (I)you delight in me:
my enemy will not shout in triumph over me.
12 But (J)you have upheld me because of (K)my integrity,
and (L)set me in your presence (M)forever.
13 (N)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.
