Ψαλμοί 41

1 εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ μακάριος ὁ συνίων ἐπὶ πτωχὸν καὶ πένητα ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πονηρᾷ ῥύσεται αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος

For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Blessed is he who is concerned for the weak; in the day of trouble, Yahweh will rescue him.

2 κύριος διαφυλάξαι αὐτὸν καὶ ζήσαι αὐτὸν καὶ μακαρίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ μὴ παραδῴη αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθροῦ αὐτοῦ

Yahweh will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will of his enemies.

3 κύριος βοηθήσαι αὐτῷ ἐπὶ κλίνης ὀδύνης αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν κοίτην αὐτοῦ ἔστρεψας ἐν τῇ ἀρρωστίᾳ αὐτοῦ

Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.

4 ἐγὼ εἶπα κύριε ἐλέησόν με ἴασαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ὅτι ἥμαρτόν σοι

I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

5 οἱ ἐχθροί μου εἶπαν κακά μοι πότε ἀποθανεῖται καὶ ἀπολεῖται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

My enemies speak evil against me, saying, 'When will he die and his name perish?'

6 καὶ εἰ εἰσεπορεύετο τοῦ ἰδεῖν μάτην ἐλάλει ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ συνήγαγεν ἀνομίαν ἑαυτῷ ἐξεπορεύετο ἔξω καὶ ἐλάλει

If my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about it.

7 ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατ’ ἐμοῦ ἐψιθύριζον πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου κατ’ ἐμοῦ ἐλογίζοντο κακά μοι

All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they hope for my hurt.

8 λόγον παράνομον κατέθεντο κατ’ ἐμοῦ μὴ ὁ κοιμώμενος οὐχὶ προσθήσει τοῦ ἀναστῆναι

They say, “An evil disease holds on tightly to him; now that he is lying down, he will rise up no more.”

9 καὶ γὰρ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς εἰρήνης μου ἐφ’ ὃν ἤλπισα ὁ ἐσθίων ἄρτους μου ἐμεγάλυνεν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ πτερνισμόν

Indeed, even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 σὺ δέ κύριε ἐλέησόν με καὶ ἀνάστησόν με καὶ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτοῖς

But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me and raise me up so that I may pay them back.

11 ἐν τούτῳ ἔγνων ὅτι τεθέληκάς με ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἐπιχαρῇ ὁ ἐχθρός μου ἐπ’ ἐμέ

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

12 ἐμοῦ δὲ διὰ τὴν ἀκακίαν ἀντελάβου καὶ ἐβεβαίωσάς με ἐνώπιόν σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

As for me, you support me in my integrity and will keep me before your face forever.

13 εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα γένοιτο γένοιτο

May Yahweh, the God of Israel be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
