Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 40)
Latin text
1 In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.
2 Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem : in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.
3 Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.
4 Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus ; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.
5 Ego dixi : Domine, miserere mei ; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
6 Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi : Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus ?
7 Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur ; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.
8 In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei ; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
9 Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me : Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat ?
10 Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.
11 Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me ; et retribuam eis.
12 In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
13 Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti ; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.
14 Benedictus Dominus Deus Isra¨el a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.
Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer
English text
1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor and needy : the Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble.
2 The Lord preserve him, and keep him alive, that he may be blessed upon earth : and deliver not thou him into the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord comfort him, when he lieth sick upon his bed : make thou all his bed in his sickness.
4 I said, Lord, be merciful unto me : heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me : When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity : and his heart conceiveth falsehood within himself, and when he cometh forth he telleth it.
7 All mine enemies whisper together against me : even against me do they imagine this evil.
8 Let the sentence of guiltiness proceed against him : and now that he lieth, let him rise up no more.
9 Yea, even mine own familiar friend, whom I trusted : who did also eat of my bread, hath laid great wait for me.
10 But be thou merciful unto me, O Lord : raise thou me up again, and I shall reward them.
11 By this I know thou favourest me : that mine enemy doth not triumph against me.
12 And when I am in my health, thou upholdest me : and shalt set me before thy face for ever.
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel : world without end. Amen.
