Psalm 41 | Nueva Biblia Viva

Al director musical. Salmo de David.

1 Dios bendice a los que son buenos con los pobres. El SEÑOR los libra en tiempo de angustia. 2 Los protege y los mantiene vivos; los prospera y los libra de sus enemigos. 3 Los cuida en sus enfermedades, y alivia sus dolores y preocupaciones. 4 Oré diciendo: «SEÑOR, ten piedad y sáname, pues he pecado contra ti». 5 Pero mis enemigos dicen: «Ojalá muera pronto y caiga en el olvido». 6 ¡Qué amistosos se muestran cuando me visitan! Y cuando se van, salen a contar las calumnias que recogieron. Y cuando se van, se ríen y se burlan. 7 Susurran entre ellos imaginando lo peor de mí. 8 «Tenga lo que tenga, es sin remedio»; dicen. «¡De esa cama no se levantará!». 9 Hasta mi mejor amigo se ha vuelto contra mí; el hombre en quien yo confiaba; ¡con el que compartía el pan! 10 ¡SEÑOR, no me abandones! Muéstrate benigno y sáname, SEÑOR, para que pueda darles su merecido. 11 Veo que estás contento de mí porque no has permitido que mis enemigos me derroten. 12 Me has preservado por mi honradez; has permitido que para siempre esté en presencia tuya. 13 ¡Bendigan al SEÑOR, al Dios de Israel, cuya existencia data de un eterno pasado, y se extiende a un eterno porvenir! ¡Así sea! ¡Amén!

O Lord, Be Gracious to Me

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who considers the poor!* 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 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.* 4 As for me, I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me,* 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, 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.* 8 They say, “A deadly thing is poured out* 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. 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. 12 But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. 13 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.
