Psalms 41

1 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.

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

2 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 And if he cometh to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

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

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

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

8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast to him: and now that he lieth he shall rise no more.

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

9 Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

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

10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

σὺ δέ κύριε ἐλέησόν με καὶ ἀνάστησόν με καὶ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτοῖς

11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

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

12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

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

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

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