World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.
2My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
2[Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
3When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
3Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
4In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
4Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
5All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
5et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
6They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.
6Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
7Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
8You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?
8Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
9Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.
9Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
10In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.
10Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
11I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
11quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
12Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
12Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.]
13For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
