1Bienaventurado el que piensa en el pobre; En el día malo lo librará Jehová.
2Jehová lo guardará, y le dará vida; Será bienaventurado en la tierra, Y no lo entregarás a 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 vienen a verme, hablan mentira; Su corazón recoge para sí iniquidad, Y al salir fuera la divulgan.
7Reunidos murmuran contra mí todos los que me aborrecen; Contra mí piensan mal, diciendo de mí:
8Cosa pestilencial se ha apoderado de él; Y el que cayó en cama no volverá a 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 les daré el pago.
11En esto conoceré que te he agradado, Que mi enemigo no se huelgue de mí.
12En cuanto a 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 los siglos de los siglos. Amén y Amén.

Ps 41 In this wisdom psalm, the psalmist prays for healing (41:4, 10), laments his distress (41:5-9), and expresses confidence in the Lord’s blessing (41:1-3, 11-12).
41:1 The poor who suffer hardship have special protection under God’s law (Lev 14:21; 19:10); they receive God’s justice and godly rule (Pss 72:13; 82:3-4). The word translated poor is often a synonym for the godly (113:7; see Zeph 3:12).

41:4 The psalmist applies the blessing to himself (41:12). Apparently he has taken care of the poor (41:1), but he has sinned against the Lord in other ways. Out of his pain, he cries for healing while confessing his sin. The Lord alone can grant the restoration that brings true joy (30:2; 107:20-21).

41:5-9 The psalmist’s enemies disguise themselves as friends, while his friends openly become his enemies.
41:5 How soon will he die? The psalmist’s opponents regard his suffering as a divine judgment (cp. 1:6).

41:9 the one who shared my food: Eating together was a sign of unity (Acts 2:42). Refusing to eat with someone indicated hostility (1 Cor 5:11). Jesus experienced the same kind of betrayal (John 13:1, 18).
