Psalms 41

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 For the leader. A psalm of David.	1 In finem. Intellectus filiis Core.
2 Happy those concerned for the lowly and poor; when misfortune strikes, the LORD delivers them.	2 Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
3 The LORD keeps and preserves them, makes them happy in the land, and does not betray them to their enemies.	3 Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem, vivum ; quando veniam, et apparebo ante faciem Dei ?
4 The LORD sustains them on their sickbed, allays the malady when they are ill.	4 Fuerunt mihi lacrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte, dum dicitur mihi quotidie : Ubi est Deus tuus ?
5 Once I prayed, "LORD, have mercy on me; heal me, I have sinned against you.	5 Hæc recordatus sum, et effudi in me animam meam, quoniam transibo in locum tabernaculi admirabilis, usque ad domum Dei, in voce exsultationis et confessionis, sonus epulantis.
6 My enemies say the worst of me: 'When will that one die and be forgotten?'	6 Quare tristis es, anima mea ? et quare conturbas me ? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei,
7 When people come to visit me, they speak without sincerity. Their hearts store up malice; they leave and spread their vicious lies.	7 et Deus meus. Ad meipsum anima mea conturbata est : propterea memor ero tui de terra Jordanis et Hermoniim a monte modico.
8 My foes all whisper against me; they imagine the worst about me:	8 Abyssus abyssum invocat, in voce cataractarum tuarum ; omnia excelsa tua, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
9 I have a deadly disease, they say; I will never rise from my sickbed.	9 In die mandavit Dominus misericordiam suam, et nocte canticum ejus ; apud me oratio Deo vitæ meæ.
10 Even the friend who had my trust, who shared my table, has scorned me.	10 Dicam Deo : Susceptor meus es ; quare oblitus es mei ? et quare contristatus incedo, dum affligit me inimicus ?
11 But you, LORD, have mercy and raise me up that I may repay them as they deserve."	11 Dum confringuntur ossa mea, exprobraverunt mihi qui tribulant me inimici mei, dum dicunt mihi per singulos dies : Ubi est Deus tuus ?
12 By this I know you are pleased with me, that my enemy no longer jeers at me.	12 Quare tristis es, anima mea ? et quare conturbas me ? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.
13 For my integrity you have supported me and let me stand in your presence forever.
14 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from all eternity and forever. Amen. Amen.
