Psalms 41

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.

In finem. Psalmus ipsi David. [Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem: in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.

2 The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.

Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.

3 The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.

Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.

4 I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”

Ego dixi: Domine, miserere mei; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.

5 My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”

Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi: Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus?

6 My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.

Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.

7 All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:

In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.

8 “A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”

Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me: Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat?

9 Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.

10 But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.

Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me; et retribuam eis.

11 By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.

12 In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.

Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.

13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.]
