PSALMVS XL — BEATVS QVI INTELLIGIT

LATINE
Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem: in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.
Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra: et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius.
Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris eius: universum stratum eius versasti in infirmitate eius.
Ego dixi: Domine, miserere mei: sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi: Quando morietur, et peribit nomen eius?
Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur, cor eius congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras, et loquebatur in idipsum.
Adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei: adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me: Numquid qui dormit non adiiciet ut resurgat?
Etenim homo pacis meae, in quo speravi: qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.
Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me: et retribuam eis.
In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me: quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti: et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in aeternum.
Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel a saeculo et usque in saeculum: fiat, fiat.
ENGLISH
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 had a good will for 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.
