Clementine Vulgate, 1598
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.
1(56-1) For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. (56-2) Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.
2[Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
2(56-3) They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,
3Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3(56-4) In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.
4Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
4(56-5) In God — I will praise His word — in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?
5et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
5(56-6) All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
6(56-7) They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.
7Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
7(56-8) Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.
8Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
8(56-9) Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?
9Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
9(56-10) Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.
10Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10(56-11) In God — I will praise His word — in the LORD — I will praise His word —
11quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
11(56-12) In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?
12Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.]
12(56-13) Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.

13(56-14) For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
