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)

Dios ayuda al que ayuda
Al director. Canción de David.
1 Afortunados los que ayudan al pobre a salir adelante
porque cuando estén en peligro, el SEÑOR los salvará.
2 El SEÑOR los protegerá
y los mantendrá con vida.
Serán felices en la tierra
y no los dejará caer en manos de sus enemigos.
3 El SEÑOR les dará fortaleza cuando se sientan débiles.
Los sanará cuando estén enfermos y en cama.
4 Yo dije: «SEÑOR, he pecado contra ti,
pero por favor ten compasión de mí y alíviame».
5 Pero mis enemigos decían contra mí:
«¿Cuándo morirá y pasará al olvido?»
6 Venían a verme,
pero no me decían lo que en realidad estaban pensando,
sino que venían a recoger calumnias y salir a contarlas.
7 Todos mis rivales murmuraban
y planeaban cosas en mi contra.
8 Ellos decían: «Debe haber hecho algo malo ya que está enfermo
y no puede recuperarse».
9 Hasta mi mejor amigo en quien yo confiaba,
con el que compartí mi comida, se puso en mi contra.
10 Así que te pido SEÑOR que tengas compasión de mí;
ayúdame a levantarme para poder pagarles lo que merecen.
11 Sólo así podré saber que no estás enojado conmigo
y que no incitaste a mis enemigos a que me atacaran.
12 Sabré que era inocente, que tú me ayudaste
y me permitiste servirte siempre.
13 Alaben al SEÑOR, el Dios de Israel,
que ha existido desde el principio de los siglos
y que existirá por toda la eternidad.
¡Qué así sea!

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.
