1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. 2 \41:1\Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.3 \41:2\The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.4 \41:3\The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.5 \41:4\I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.6 \41:5\My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?7 \41:6\If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.8 \41:7\All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.9 \41:8\They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.10 \41:9\Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.11 \41:10\But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.12 \41:11\By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.13 \41:12\And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.14 \41:13\May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.

1 In finem. Intellectus filiis Core. 2 [Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum,ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.3 Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem, vivum ;quando veniam, et apparebo ante faciem Dei ?4 Fuerunt mihi lacrim me panes die ac nocte,dum dicitur mihi quotidie : Ubi est Deus tuus ?5 Hc recordatus sum, et effudi in me animam meam,quoniam transibo in locum tabernaculi admirabilis, usque ad donum Dei,in voce exsultationis et confessionis, sonus epulantis.6 Quare tristis es, anima mea ?et quare conturbas me ?Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi,salutare vultus mei,7 et Deus meus.Ad meipsum anima mea conturbata est :propterea memor ero tui de terra Jordanis et Hermoniim a monte modico.8 Abyssus abyssum invocat, in voce cataractarum tuarum ;omnia excelsa tua, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.9 In die mandavit Dominus misericordiam suam,et nocte canticum ejus ;apud me oratio Deo vit me.10 Dicam Deo : Susceptor meus es ;quare oblitus es mei ?et quare contristatus incedo, dum affligit me inimicus ?11 Dum confringuntur ossa mea,exprobraverunt mihi qui tribulant me inimici mei,dum dicunt mihi per singulos dies : Ubi est Deus tuus ?12 Quare tristis es, anima mea ?et quare conturbas me ?Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi,salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.]
