Psalmorum 56

Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.
1Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
2[Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
2My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
3Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
4Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
4In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
5All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
6They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.
7Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
8Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
8You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?
9Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
9Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.
10Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10In 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.
11I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.]
12Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
