Salmos 41
Bible in Basic English
1Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.
2The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.
3The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.
4I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.
5My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?
6If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.
7All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.
8They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.
9Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.
10But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.
11By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.
12And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.
13May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. BIENAVENTURADO el que piensa en el pobre: en el día malo lo librará Jehová.
2Jehová lo guarde, y le dé vida: sea bienaventurado en la tierra, y no lo entregues á la voluntad de sus enemigos.
3Jehová lo sustentará sobre el lecho del dolor: mullirás toda su cama en su enfermedad.
4Yo dije: Jehová, ten misericordia de mí; sana mi alma, porque contra ti he pecado.
5Mis enemigos dicen mal de mí preguntando: ¿Cuándo morirá, y perecerá su nombre?
6Y si venía á verme, hablaba mentira: su corazón se amontonaba iniquidad; y salido fuera, hablábala.
7Reunidos murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían: contra mí pensaban mal, diciendo de mí:
8Cosa pestilencial de él se ha apoderado; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá á levantarse.
9Aun el hombre de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que de mi pan comía, alzó contra mí el calcañar.
10Mas tú, Jehová, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, y daréles el pago.
11En esto habré conocido que te he agradado, que mi enemigo no se holgará de mí.
12En cuanto á mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, y me has hecho estar delante de ti para siempre.
13Bendito sea Jehová, el Dios de Israel, por siglos de siglos. Amén y Amén.
King James Version
1Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
