Ψαλμοί 41

1 εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ μακάριος ὁ συνίων ἐπὶ πτωχὸν καὶ πένητα ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πονηρᾷ ῥύσεται αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος

Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

2 κύριος διαφυλάξαι αὐτὸν καὶ ζήσαι αὐτὸν καὶ μακαρίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ μὴ παραδῴη αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθροῦ αὐτοῦ

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and you will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

3 κύριος βοηθήσαι αὐτῷ ἐπὶ κλίνης ὀδύνης αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν κοίτην αὐτοῦ ἔστρεψας ἐν τῇ ἀρρωστίᾳ αὐτοῦ

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

4 ἐγὼ εἶπα κύριε ἐλέησόν με ἴασαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ὅτι ἥμαρτόν σοι

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

5 οἱ ἐχθροί μου εἶπαν κακά μοι πότε ἀποθανεῖται καὶ ἀπολεῖται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

6 καὶ εἰ εἰσεπορεύετο τοῦ ἰδεῖν μάτην ἐλάλει ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ συνήγαγεν ἀνομίαν ἑαυτῷ ἐξεπορεύετο ἔξω καὶ ἐλάλει

And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.

7 ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατ’ ἐμοῦ ἐψιθύριζον πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου κατ’ ἐμοῦ ἐλογίζοντο κακά μοι

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

8 λόγον παράνομον κατέθεντο κατ’ ἐμοῦ μὴ ὁ κοιμώμενος οὐχὶ προσθήσει τοῦ ἀναστῆναι

An evil disease, say they, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.

9 καὶ γὰρ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς εἰρήνης μου ἐφ’ ὃν ἤλπισα ὁ ἐσθίων ἄρτους μου ἐμεγάλυνεν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ πτερνισμόν

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 σὺ δέ κύριε ἐλέησόν με καὶ ἀνάστησόν με καὶ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτοῖς

But you, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

11 ἐν τούτῳ ἔγνων ὅτι τεθέληκάς με ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἐπιχαρῇ ὁ ἐχθρός μου ἐπ’ ἐμέ

By this I know that you favour me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me.

12 ἐμοῦ δὲ διὰ τὴν ἀκακίαν ἀντελάβου καὶ ἐβεβαίωσάς με ἐνώπιόν σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

And as for me, you uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before your face for ever.

13 εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα γένοιτο γένοιτο

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
