Psalm 41 (WEBP)

[1] Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.
[2] Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
[3] Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
[4] I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
[5] My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
[6] If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
[7] All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
[8] “An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
[9] Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
[10] But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
[11] By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.
[12] As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
[13] Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.

[1] [40:1] εις το τελος ψαλμος τω δαυιδ [40:2] μακαριος ο συνιων επι πτωχον και πενητα εν ημερα πονηρα ρυσεται αυτον ο κυριος
[2] [40:3] κυριος διαφυλαξαι αυτον και ζησαι αυτον και μακαρισαι αυτον εν τη γη και μη παραδωη αυτον εις χειρας εχθρου αυτου
[3] [40:4] κυριος βοηθησαι αυτω επι κλινης οδυνης αυτου ολην την κοιτην αυτου εστρεψας εν τη αρρωστια αυτου
[4] [40:5] εγω ειπα κυριε ελεησον με ιασαι την ψυχην μου οτι ημαρτον σοι
[5] [40:6] οι εχθροι μου ειπαν κακα μοι ποτε αποθανειται και απολειται το ονομα αυτου
[6] [40:7] και ει εισεπορευετο του ιδειν ματην ελαλει η καρδια αυτου συνηγαγεν ανομιαν εαυτω εξεπορευετο εξω και ελαλει
[7] [40:8] επι το αυτο κατ εμου εψιθυριζον παντες οι εχθροι μου κατ εμου ελογιζοντο κακα μοι
[8] [40:9] λογον παρανομον κατεθεντο κατ εμου μη ο κοιμωμενος ουχι προσθησει του αναστηναι
[9] [40:10] και γαρ ο ανθρωπος της ειρηνης μου εφ ον ηλπισα ο εσθιων αρτους μου εμεγαλυνεν επ εμε πτερνισμον
[10] [40:11] συ δε κυριε ελεησον με και αναστησον με και ανταποδωσω αυτοις
[11] [40:12] εν τουτω εγνων οτι τεθεληκας με οτι ου μη επιχαρη ο εχθρος μου επ εμε
[12] [40:13] εμου δε δια την ακακιαν αντελαβου και εβεβαιωσας με ενωπιον σου εις τον αιωνα
[13] [40:14] ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ απο του αιωνος και εις τον αιωνα γενοιτο γενοιτο
