Psalmorum 41

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

Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in 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 you will not deliver him unto 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: you will make all his bed in his sickness.

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

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

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 he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells 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, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he lies 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, which did eat of 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 merciful 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 you favour me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me.

12 me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in aeternum

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