Psalms 40

Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.

In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.

εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ

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

Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem : in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.

μακάριος ὁ συνίων ἐπὶ πτωχὸν καὶ πένητα ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πονηρᾷ ῥύσεται αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος

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.

Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.

κύριος διαφυλάξαι αὐτὸν καὶ ζήσαι αὐτὸν καὶ μακαρίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ μὴ παραδῴη αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθροῦ αὐτοῦ

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

Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.

κύριος βοηθήσαι αὐτῷ ἐπὶ κλίνης ὀδύνης αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν κοίτην αὐτοῦ ἔστρεψας ἐν τῇ ἀρρωστίᾳ αὐτοῦ

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

Ego dixi : Domine, miserere mei; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.

ἐγὼ εἶπα κύριε ἐλέησόν με ἴασαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ὅτι ἥμαρτόν σοι

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

Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi : Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus?

οἱ ἐχθροί μου εἶπαν κακά μοι πότε ἀποθανεῖται καὶ ἀπολεῖται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

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.

Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.

καὶ εἰ εἰσεπορεύετο τοῦ ἰδεῖν μάτην ἐλάλει ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ συνήγαγεν ἀνομίαν ἑαυτῷ ἐξεπορεύετο ἔξω καὶ ἐλάλει

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

In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.

ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατ' ἐμοῦ ἐψιθύριζον πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου κατ' ἐμοῦ ἐλογίζοντο κακά μοι

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

Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me : Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat?

λόγον παράνομον κατέθεντο κατ' ἐμοῦ μὴ ὁ κοιμώμενος οὐχὶ προσθήσει τοῦ ἀναστῆναι

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

Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.

καὶ γὰρ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς εἰρήνης μου ἐφ' ὃν ἤλπισα ὁ ἐσθίων ἄρτους μου ἐμεγάλυνεν ἐπ' ἐμὲ πτερνισμόν

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

Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me; et retribuam eis.

σὺ δέ κύριε ἐλέησόν με καὶ ἀνάστησόν με καὶ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτοῖς

By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.

ἐν τούτῳ ἔγνων ὅτι τεθέληκάς με ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἐπιχαρῇ ὁ ἐχθρός μου ἐπ' ἐμέ

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

Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.

ἐμοῦ δὲ διὰ τὴν ἀκακίαν ἀντελάβου καὶ ἐβεβαίωσάς με ἐνώπιόν σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

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

Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.

εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα γένοιτο γένοιτο
