< 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 David beatus qui intellegit 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 quoniam 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 vane 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 id ipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei adversus 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 adversus me numquid qui dormit non adiciet 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 meae in quo speravi qui edebat panes meos magnificavit super me subplantationem
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 aeternum
13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
benedictus Dominus Deus Israhel a saeculo et in saeculum fiat fiat
