Psalm 40

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

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.

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

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

My enemies have spoken evils against me.

When shall he die, and his name perish?

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.

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

They determined against me an unjust word.

Shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

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

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

By this I know, that thou hast delighted in me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

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

Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.

Beátus qui intélligit super egénum et páuperem:
in die mala liberábit eum Dóminus.

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

Dóminus opem ferat illi super lectum dolóris eius:
totum stratum eius versásti in infirmitáte eius.

Ego dixi: Dómine, miserére mei:
sana ánimam meam, quóniam peccávi tibi.

Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi:
Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen eius?

Et si ingrediebátur ut vidéret, vana loquebátur:
cor eius congregávit iniquitátem sibi.

Egrediebátur foras,
et loquebátur in idípsum.

Advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei:
adversus me cogitábant mala mihi.

Verbum iníquum constituérunt advérsum me:
Numquid qui dormit non adiíciet ut resúrgat?

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

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

In hoc cognóvi quóniam voluísti me:
quóniam non gaudébit inimícus meus super me.

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

Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israel,
a sæculo et usque in sæculum.

Fiat, fiat.
