Psalmus 40 (41) | Psalm 40 (41) |
| 1 In finem Psalmus ipsi David | 1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. |
| 2 Beatus qui intellegit super egenum et pauperem in die mala liberabit eum Dominus | 2 Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day. |
| 3 Dominus conservet eum et vivificet eum et beatum faciat eum in terra et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius | 3 The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. |
| 4 Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris eius universum stratum eius versasti in infirmitate eius | 4 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness. |
| 5 Ego dixi Domine miserere mei sana animam meam quoniam peccavi tibi | 5 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee. |
| 6 Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi quando morietur et peribit nomen eius | 6 My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish? |
| 7 Et si ingrediebatur ut videret vane loquebatur cor eius congregavit iniquitatem sibi egrediebatur foras et loquebatur | 7 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose. |
| 8 In id ipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei adversus me cogitabant mala mihi | 8 All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me. |
| 9 Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversus me numquid qui dormit non adiciet ut resurgat | 9 They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more? |
| 10 Etenim homo pacis meae in quo speravi qui edebat panes meos magnificavit super me subplantationem | 10 For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me. |
| 11 Tu autem Domine miserere mei et resuscita me et retribuam eis | 11 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them. |
| 12 In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me | 12 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me. |
| 13 Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in aeternum | 13 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever. |
| 14 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel a saeculo et in saeculum fiat fiat | 14 Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it. |
