< Psalmorum 41 >
1 in finem psalmus David beatus qui intellegit super egenum et pauperem in die mala liberabit eum Dominus
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Blessed is he that iudgeth wisely of the poore: the Lord shall deliuer him in ye time 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 keepe him, and preserue him aliue: he shalbe blessed vpon the earth, and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto the will of his enemies.
3 Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris eius universum stratum eius versasti in infirmitate eius
The Lord wil strengthen him vpon ye bed of sorow: thou hast turned al his bed in his sicknes.
4 ego dixi Domine miserere mei sana animam meam quoniam peccavi tibi
Therefore I saide, Lord haue mercie vpon me: heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.
5 inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi quando morietur et peribit nomen eius
Mine enemies speake euill of me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 et si ingrediebatur ut videret vane loquebatur cor eius congregavit iniquitatem sibi egrediebatur foras et loquebatur
And if hee come to see mee, hee speaketh lies, but his heart heapeth iniquitie within him, and when he commeth foorth, he telleth it.
7 in id ipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei adversus me cogitabant mala mihi
All they that hate me, whisper together against me: euen against me do they imagine mine hurt.
8 verbum iniquum constituerunt adversus me numquid qui dormit non adiciet ut resurgat
A mischiefe is light vpon him, and he that lyeth, shall no more rise.
9 etenim homo pacis meae in quo speravi qui edebat panes meos magnificavit super me subplantationem
Yea, my familiar friend, whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lifted vp the heele against me.
10 tu autem Domine miserere mei et resuscita me et retribuam eis
Therefore, O Lord, haue mercy vpon mee, and raise me vp: so I shall reward them.
11 in hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me
By this I know that thou fauourest me, because mine enemie doth not triumph against me.
12 me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in aeternum
And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie, and doest set me before thy face for euer.
13 benedictus Dominus Deus Israhel a saeculo et in saeculum fiat fiat
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel worlde without ende. So be it, euen so be it.
