Salmi 41

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Magistro chori. Psalmus. David.	1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
2 Beatus, qui intellegit de egeno; 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 servabit eum et vivificabit eum et beatum faciet eum in terra et non tradet 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 feret illi super lectum doloris eius; universum stratum eius versabis 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, quia 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 visitaret, vana loquebatur; cor eius congregabat iniquitatem sibi, egrediebatur foras et detrahebat.	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 Simul adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi:	8 All my enemies whispered together against me : they devised evils to me.
9 “ Maleficium effusum est in eo; et, qui decumbit, non adiciet ut resurgat ”.	9 They determined against me an unjust word : shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
10 Sed et homo pacis meae, in quo speravi, qui edebat panem meum, levavit contra me calcaneum.	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, quia 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 statuisti 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 usque in saeculum. Fiat, fiat.	14 Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
