Psalms 41 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

41:1
אַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּי֥וֹם רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהֹוָֽה׃
μακάριος ὁ συνίων ἐπὶ πτωχὸν καὶ πένητα ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πονηρᾷ ῥύσεται αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος
Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem : in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.
እግዚአብሔር ፡ ያዐቅቦ ፡ ወያሐይዎ ፡ ወያበጽዖ ፡ ዲበ ፡ ምድር ፤ ወኢያገብኦ ፡ ውስተ ፡ እደ ፡ ጸላኢሁ ።
Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.
41:2
יְהֹוָ֤ה׀ יִשְׁמְרֵ֣הוּ וִ֭יחַיֵּהוּ (יאשר) [וְאֻשַּׁ֣ר] בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּ֝תְּנֵ֗הוּ בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ אֹיְבָֽיו׃
κύριος διαφυλάξαι αὐτὸν καὶ ζήσαι αὐτὸν καὶ μακαρίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ μὴ παραδῴη αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθροῦ αὐτοῦ
Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.
እግዚአብሔር ፡ ይረድኦ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ዐራተ ፡ ሕማሙ ፤ ወይመይጥ ፡ ሎቱ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ምስካቤሁ ፡ እምደዌሁ ።
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.
41:3
יְֽהֹוָ֗ה יִ֭סְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶ֣רֶשׂ דְּוָ֑י כׇּל־מִ֝שְׁכָּב֗וֹ הָפַ֥כְתָּ בְחׇלְיֽוֹ׃
κύριος βοηθήσαι αὐτῷ ἐπὶ κλίνης ὀδύνης αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν κοίτην αὐτοῦ ἔστρεψας ἐν τῇ ἀρρωστίᾳ αὐτοῦ
Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus ; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.
አንሰ ፡ እቤ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ ተሣሀለኒ ፤ ወስረይ ፡ ላቲ ፡ ለነፍስየ ፡ እስመ ፡ አበስኩ ፡ ለከ ።
Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
41:4
אֲֽנִי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי יְהֹוָ֣ה חׇנֵּ֑נִי רְפָאָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י כִּי־חָטָ֥אתִי לָֽךְ׃
ἐγὼ εἶπα κύριε ἐλέησόν με ἴασαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ὅτι ἥμαρτόν σοι
Ego dixi : Domine, miserere mei ; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
ጸላእትየሰ ፡ እኩየ ፡ ይቤሉ ፡ ላዕሌየ ፤ ማእዜ ፡ ይመውት ፡ ወይሰዐር ፡ ስሙ ።
I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
41:5
אוֹיְבַ֗י יֹאמְר֣וּ רַ֣ע לִ֑י מָתַ֥י יָ֝מ֗וּת וְאָבַ֥ד שְׁמֽוֹ׃
οἱ ἐχθροί μου εἶπαν κακά μοι πότε ἀποθανεῖται καὶ ἀπολεῖται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ
Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi : Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus ?
ወይባእ ፡ ወይርአይ ፡ ዘከንቶ ፡ ይነብብ ፡ ልቡ ፡ አስተጋብአ ፡ ኃጢአተ ፡ ላዕሌሁ ፤
My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
41:6
וְאִם־בָּ֤א לִרְא֨וֹת׀ שָׁ֤וְא יְדַבֵּ֗ר לִבּ֗וֹ יִקְבׇּץ־אָ֥וֶן ל֑וֹ יֵצֵ֖א לַח֣וּץ יְדַבֵּֽר׃
καὶ εἰ εἰσεπορεύετο τοῦ ἰδεῖν μάτην ἐλάλει ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ συνήγαγεν ἀνομίαν ἑαυτῷ ἐξεπορεύετο ἔξω καὶ ἐλάλει
Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur ; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.
ይወፅእ ፡ አፍአ ፡ ወይትናገር ።
If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
41:7
יַ֗חַד עָלַ֣י יִ֭תְלַחֲשׁוּ כׇּל־שֹׂנְאָ֑י עָלַ֓י׀ יַחְשְׁב֖וּ רָעָ֣ה לִֽי׃
ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατ’ ἐμοῦ ἐψιθύριζον πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου κατ’ ἐμοῦ ἐλογίζοντο κακά μοι
In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei ; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
ወየኀብር ፡ ላዕሌየ ፡ ወይትቃጸቡኒ ፡ ኵሎሙ ፡ ጸላእትየ ፤ ወይመክሩ ፡ እኩየ ፡ ላዕሌየ ፤
All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
41:8
דְּֽבַר־בְּ֭לִיַּעַל יָצ֣וּק בּ֑וֹ וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁ֝כַ֗ב לֹא־יוֹסִ֥יף לָקֽוּם׃
λόγον παράνομον κατέθεντο κατ’ ἐμοῦ μὴ ὁ κοιμώμενος οὐχὶ προσθήσει τοῦ ἀναστῆναι
Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me : Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat ?
ነገረ ፡ ጌጋየ ፡ አውፅኡ ፡ ላዕሌየ ፤ ዘኖመሰ ፡ ኢይነቅህኑ ፡ እንከ ።
“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
41:9
גַּם־אִ֤ישׁ שְׁלוֹמִ֨י׀ אֲשֶׁר־בָּטַ֣חְתִּי ב֭וֹ אוֹכֵ֣ל לַחְמִ֑י הִגְדִּ֖יל עָלַ֣י עָקֵֽב׃
καὶ γὰρ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς εἰρήνης μου ἐφ’ ὃν ἤλπισα ὁ ἐσθίων ἄρτους μου ἐμεγάλυνεν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ πτερνισμόν
Etenim homo pacis meae in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.
ብእሴ ፡ ሰላምየ ፡ ዘኪያሁ ፡ እትአመን ፡ ዘይሴስይ ፡ እክልየ ፤ አንሥአ ፡ ሰኰናሁ ፡ ላዕሌየ ።
Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
41:10
וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהֹוָ֗ה חׇנֵּ֥נִי וַהֲקִימֵ֑נִי וַאֲשַׁלְּמָ֥ה לָהֶֽם׃
σὺ δέ κύριε ἐλέησόν με καὶ ἀνάστησόν με καὶ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτοῖς
Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me ; et retribuam eis.
እንተ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ ተሣሀለኒ ፡ ወአንሥአኒ ፡ እፍድዮሙ ።
But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
41:11
בְּזֹ֣את יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּֽי־חָפַ֣צְתָּ בִּ֑י כִּ֤י לֹֽא־יָרִ֖יעַ אֹיְבִ֣י עָלָֽי׃
ἐν τούτῳ ἔγνων ὅτι τεθέληκάς με ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἐπιχαρῇ ὁ ἐχθρός μου ἐπ’ ἐμέ
In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
ወበእንተዝ ፡ አእመርኩ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሠመርከኒ ፤ ወኢተፈሥሑ ፡ ጸላእትየ ፡ ላዕሌየ ።
By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

וַאֲנִ֗י בְּ֭תֻמִּי תָּמַ֣כְתָּ בִּ֑י וַתַּצִּיבֵ֖נִי לְפָנֶ֣יךָ לְעוֹלָֽם׃
ἐμοῦ δὲ διὰ τὴν ἀκακίαν ἀντελάβου καὶ ἐβεβαίωσάς με ἐνώπιόν σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti ; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in aeternum.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

בָּ֘ר֤וּךְ יְהֹוָ֨ה׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מֵֽ֭הָעוֹלָם וְעַ֥ד הָעוֹלָ֗ם אָ֘מֵ֥ן׀וְאָמֵֽן׃
εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα γένοιτο γένοιτο
