1 Въ коне́цъ, ѱало́мъ дв҃дꙋ,
·
2 Бл҃же́нъ разꙋмѣва́ѧй на ни́ща и҆ ᲂу҆бо́га, въ де́нь лю́тъ и҆зба́витъ є҆го̀ гдⷭ҇ь.
41:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.
3 Гдⷭ҇ь да сохрани́тъ є҆го̀ и҆ живи́тъ є҆го̀, и҆ да ᲂу҆бл҃жи́тъ є҆го̀ на землѝ и҆ да не преда́стъ є҆гѡ̀ въ рꙋ́ки врагѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀.
41:2 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.
4 Гдⷭ҇ь да помо́жетъ є҆мꙋ̀ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ болѣ́зни є҆гѡ̀: всѐ ло́же є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆брати́лъ є҆сѝ въ болѣ̑зни є҆гѡ̀.
41:3 Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
5 А҆́зъ рѣ́хъ: гдⷭ҇и, поми́лꙋй мѧ̀, и҆сцѣлѝ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ согрѣши́хъ тѝ.
41:4 I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
6 Вразѝ моѝ рѣ́ша мнѣ̀ ѕла̑ѧ: когда̀ ᲂу҆́мретъ, и҆ поги́бнетъ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀;
41:5 My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
7 И҆ вхожда́ше ви́дѣти, всꙋ́е глаго́лаше се́рдце є҆гѡ̀: собра̀ беззако́нїе себѣ̀, и҆схожда́ше во́нъ и҆ глаго́лаше вкꙋ́пѣ.
41:6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
8 На мѧ̀ шепта́хꙋ всѝ вразѝ моѝ, на мѧ̀ помышлѧ́хꙋ ѕла̑ѧ мнѣ̀.
41:7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
9 Сло́во законопрестꙋ́пное возложи́ша на мѧ̀: є҆да̀ спѧ́й не приложи́тъ воскреснꙋ́ти;
41:8 “An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
10 И҆́бо человѣ́къ ми́ра моегѡ̀, на него́же ᲂу҆пова́хъ, ꙗ҆ды́й хлѣ́бы моѧ̑, возвели́чи на мѧ̀ запина́нїе.
41:9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
11 Ты́ же, гдⷭ҇и, поми́лꙋй мѧ̀ и҆ возста́ви мѧ̀, и҆ возда́мъ и҆̀мъ.
41:10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
12 Въ се́мъ позна́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ восхотѣ́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не возра́дꙋетсѧ вра́гъ мо́й ѡ҆ мнѣ̀.
41:11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.
13 Мене́ же за неѕло́бїе прїѧ́лъ, и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ пред̾ тобо́ю въ вѣ́къ.
41:12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
14 Блгⷭ҇ве́нъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ ѿ вѣ́ка и҆ до вѣ́ка: бꙋ́ди, бꙋ́ди.
41:13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 41.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 41:4 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book IV)

    For good it is to confess unto Thee, and to say, "Be merciful unto me, heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee;" and not to abuse Thy goodness for a license to sin, but to remember the words of the Lord, "Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."

  3. Quotes verse 41:4 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book IV, Chapters VIII–XII)

    … departed thither, whence He never departed, because "the world was made by Him." And in this world He was, and into this world He came to save sinners, unto whom my soul doth confess, that He may heal it, for it hath sinned against Him. O ye sons of men, how long so slow of heart?

  4. Quotes verse 41:4 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book V, Chapters IX–X)

    … I know not what other nature sinned in us." And it gratified my pride to be free from blame and, after I had committed any fault, not to acknowledge that I had done any,--"that Thou mightest heal my soul because it had sinned against Thee;" but I loved to excuse it, and to accuse something else (I wot not what) …
