Psalmorum 41

1 in finem psalmus David beatus qui intellegit super egenum et pauperem in die mala liberabit eum Dominus

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the 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 preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

3 Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris eius universum stratum eius versasti in infirmitate eius

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

4 ego dixi Domine miserere mei sana animam meam quoniam peccavi tibi

I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5 inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi quando morietur et peribit nomen eius

My 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 he cometh to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth 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 disease, say they, cleaveth fast to him: and now that he lieth he shall rise no more.

9 etenim homo pacis meae in quo speravi qui edebat panes meos magnificavit super me subplantationem

Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate 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 merciful 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 thou favourest me, because my 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 my 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 God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
