Psalmus 40

O my people, * what have I done to thee, or in what have I grieved thee? Testify against me.

Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: * the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

  1. Dóminus consérvet eum, et vivíficet eum, et beátum fáciat eum in terra: * et non tradat eum in ánimam inimicórum ejus.

    2. 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.

  2. Dóminus opem ferat illi super lectum dolóris ejus: * univérsum stratum ejus versásti in infirmitáte ejus.

    3. The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: * thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.

  3. Ego dixi: Dómine, miserére mei: * sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.

    4. I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: * heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

  4. Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi: * Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen ejus?

    5. My enemies have spoken evils against me: * when shall he die and his name perish?

  5. Et si ingrediebátur ut vidéret, vana loquebátur: * cor ejus congregávit iniquitátem sibi.

    6. And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: * his heart gathered together iniquity to itself.

  6. Egrediebátur foras, * et loquebátur in idípsum.

  7. Advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei: * advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi.

    8. All my enemies whispered together against me: * they devised evils to me.

  8. Verbum iníquum constituérunt advérsum me: * Numquid qui dormit non adjíciet ut resúrgat?

    9. They determined against me an unjust word: * shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

  9. Etenim homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi: * qui edébat panes meos, magnificávit super me supplantatiónem.

    10. For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, * who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.

  10. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére mei, et resúscita me: * et retríbuam eis.

    11. But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: * and I will requite them.

  11. In hoc cognóvi quóniam voluísti me: * quóniam non gaudébit inimícus 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.

  12. Me autem propter innocéntiam suscepísti: * et confirmásti me in conspéctu tuo in ætérnum.

    13. But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: * and hast established me in thy sight for ever.

    16. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 41 (2,6)

As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; * so my soul panteth after thee, O God.

  1. Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum fortem vivum: * quando véniam, et apparébo ante fáciem Dei?

    2. My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; * when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
