Psalms 41

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him Who is acting wisely to the poor, In a day of evil YHWH delivers him.

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

2 YHWH preserves him and revives him, He is blessed in the land, And You do not give him into the will of his enemies.

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

3 YHWH supports [him] on a bed of sickness, You have turned his bed in his weakness.

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

4 I said, “O YHWH, favor me, Heal my soul, for I sinned against You,”

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

5 My enemies say evil of me: When he dies—his name has perished!

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

6 And if he came to see—he speaks vanity, His heart gathers iniquity to itself, He goes out—at the street he speaks.

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

7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

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

8 A worthless thing is poured out on him, And because he lay down he does not rise again.

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

9 Even my ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, Made the heel great against me,

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

10 And You, YHWH, favor me, And cause me to rise, And I give repayment to them.

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

11 By this I have known, That You have delighted in me, Because my enemy does not shout over me.

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

12 As for me, in my integrity, You have taken hold on me, And cause me to stand before You for all time.

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

13 Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age to age. Amen and Amen.

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