Psalmorum 41
1 in finem psalmus David beatus qui intellegit super egenum et pauperem in die mala liberabit eum Dominus
For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Happy 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 preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.
3 Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris eius universum stratum eius versasti in infirmitate eius
The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.
4 ego dixi Domine miserere mei sana animam meam quoniam peccavi tibi
As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto 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 of me: '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 one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.
7 in id ipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei adversus me cogitabant mala mihi
All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:
8 verbum iniquum constituerunt adversus me numquid qui dormit non adiciet ut resurgat
'An evil thing 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 subplantationem
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who 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, be gracious unto 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, that 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 because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.
13 benedictus Dominus Deus Israhel a saeculo et in saeculum fiat fiat
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
