Psalm 41

English Standard Version

O Lord, Be Gracious to Me

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who considers the poor!^[1] In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him; (Ps 37:19; Pr 14:21) 2 the Lord protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies. (Ps 27:12) 3 The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.^[2] 4 As for me, I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me,^[3] for I have sinned against you!” (2Ch 30:20; Ps 4:1; Ps 6:2; Ps 147:3)

2Ch 30:20Ps 4:1Ps 6:2Ps 147:3

5 My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die, and his name perish?” 6 And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers iniquity; when he goes out, he tells it abroad. (Ps 12:2; Ps 144:8) 7 All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me.^[4] 8 They say, “A deadly thing is poured out^[5] on him; he will not rise again from where he lies.” 9 Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me. (2Sa 15:12; Job 19:13; Job 19:19; Ps 55:12; Ps 55:20; Jer 9:4; Jer 20:10; Mic 7:5; Joh 13:18)

2Sa 15:12Job 19:13Job 19:19Ps 55:12Ps 55:20Jer 9:4Jer 20:10Mic 7:5Joh 13:18

10 But you, O Lord, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them! 11 By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. (2Sa 15:25) 12 But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. (Job 36:7; Ps 23:6; Ps 26:1; Ps 63:8)

Job 36:7Ps 23:6Ps 26:1Ps 63:8

13 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen. (Ps 72:18; Ps 89:52; Ps 106:48; Ps 150:6; Lu 1:68)

Psalm 41

Nueva Versión Internacional

from Biblica

1 Dichoso el que piensa en el débil; el Señor lo librará en el día de la desgracia. 2 El Señor lo protegerá y lo mantendrá con vida; lo hará dichoso en la tierra y no lo entregará al capricho de sus adversarios. 3 El Señor lo confortará cuando esté enfermo; lo alentará en el lecho del dolor. 4 Yo he dicho: «Señor, compadécete de mí; sáname, pues contra ti he pecado.» 5 Con saña dicen de mí mis enemigos: «¿Cuándo se morirá? ¿Cuándo pasará al olvido?» 6 Si vienen a verme, no son sinceros; recogen calumnias y salen a contarlas. 7 Mis enemigos se juntan y cuchichean contra mí; me hacen responsable de mi mal. Dicen: 8 «Lo que le ha sobrevenido es cosa del demonio; de esa cama no volverá a levantarse.» 9 Hasta mi mejor amigo, en quien yo confiaba y que compartía el pan conmigo, me ha puesto la zancadilla. 10 Pero tú, Señor, compadécete de mí; haz que vuelva a levantarme para darles su merecido. 11 En esto sabré que te he agradado: en que mi enemigo no triunfe sobre mí. 12 Por mi integridad habrás de sostenerme, y en tu presencia me mantendrás para siempre. 13 Bendito sea el Señor, el Dios de Israel, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén y amén.
