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 eius.
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 eius: universum stratum eius versasti in infirmitate eius.
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 eius?
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 eius 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 adiiciet 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 Israel a sæculo, et usque in sæculum: fiat, fiat.
