Psalmi 40

VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.	1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
2 Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem : in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.	2 With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
3 Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.	3 And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
4 Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus ; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.	4 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear : and they shall hope in the Lord.
5 Ego dixi : Domine, miserere mei ; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.	5 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
6 Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi : Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus ?	6 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God : and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
7 Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur ; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.	7 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require :
8 In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei ; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.	8 then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
9 Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me : Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat ?	9 that I should do thy will : O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
10 Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.	10 I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips : O Lord, thou knowest it.
11 Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me ; et retribuam eis.	11 I have not hid thy justice within my heart : I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
12 In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.	12 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me : thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
13 Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti ; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.	13 For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head : and my heart hath forsaken me.
14 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.	14 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.
	15 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.
	16 Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me : 'T is well, 't is well.
	17 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee : and let such as love thy salvation say always : The Lord be magnified.
	18 But I am a beggar and poor : the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector : O my God, be not slack.
