Psalmorum 41
1 Psalmus David, in finem. Beatus vir qui intelligit super egenum, et pauperem: in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.
2 Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra: et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius.
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth; and deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.
3 Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris eius: universum stratum eius versasti in infirmitate eius.
The LORD will support him upon the couch of languishing: thou makest all his bed in his sickness.
4 Ego dixi: Domine miserere mei: sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
I said, O LORD, have mercy upon me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi: Quando morietur, et peribit nomen eius?
Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur, cor eius congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras, et loquebatur
And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself: when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7 in idipsum. Adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei: adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me: Numquid qui dormit non adiiciet ut resurgat?
An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9 Etenim homo pacis meae, in quo speravi: qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 Tu autem Domine miserere mei, et resuscita me: et retribuam eis.
But thou, O LORD, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me: quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti: et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in aeternum.
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel a saeculo, et usque in saeculum: fiat, fiat.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
