Psalmorum 41
1 in finem psalmus David beatus qui intellegit super egenum et pauperem in die mala liberabit eum Dominus
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.
2 Dominus conservet eum et vivificet eum et beatum faciat eum in terra et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius
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.
3 Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris eius universum stratum eius versasti in infirmitate eius
The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.
4 ego dixi Domine miserere mei sana animam meam quoniam peccavi tibi
I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
5 inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi quando morietur et peribit nomen eius
My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
6 et si ingrediebatur ut videret vane loquebatur cor eius congregavit iniquitatem sibi egrediebatur foras et loquebatur
My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.
7 in id ipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei adversus me cogitabant mala mihi
All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:
8 verbum iniquum constituerunt adversus me numquid qui dormit non adiciet ut resurgat
“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”
9 etenim homo pacis meae in quo speravi qui edebat panes meos magnificavit super me subplantationem
Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10 tu autem Domine miserere mei et resuscita me et retribuam eis
But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 in hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me
By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in aeternum
In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.
13 benedictus Dominus Deus Israhel a saeculo et in saeculum fiat fiat
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
