Psalms 56

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 For the director. According to Yonath elem rehoqim. A miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him at Gath.	1 Magistro chori. Secundum " Ionat elem rehoqim ". David. Miktam. Cum Gath Philistaei eum tenerent.
2 Have mercy on me, God, for I am treated harshly; attackers press me all the day.	2 Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo, tota die impugnans oppressit me.
3 My foes treat me harshly all the day; yes, many are my attackers. O Most High,	3 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi pugnant adversum me, Altissime.
4 when I am afraid, in you I place my trust.	4 In quacumque die timebo, ego in te sperabo.
5 God, I praise your promise; in you I trust, I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?	5 In Deo, cuius laudabo sermonem, in Deo speravi; non timebo: quid faciet mihi caro?
6 All the day they foil my plans; their every thought is of evil against me.	6 Tota die rem meam perturbabant, adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
7 They hide together in ambush; they watch my every step; they lie in wait for my life.	7 Concitabant iurgia, insidiabantur, ipsi calcaneum meum observabant. Sicut quaesierunt animam meam,
8 They are evil; watch them, God! Cast the nations down in your anger!	8 ita pro iniquitate retribue illis, in ira populos prosterne, Deus.
9 My wanderings you have noted; are my tears not stored in your vial, recorded in your book?	9 Peregrinationes meas tu numerasti: pone lacrimas meas in utre tuo; nonne in supputatione tua?
10 My foes turn back when I call on you. This I know: God is on my side.	10 Tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum, in quacumque die invocavero: ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
11 God, I praise your promise;	11 In Deo, cuius laudabo sermonem, in Domino, cuius laudabo sermonem,
12 in you I trust, I do not fear. What can mere mortals do to me?	12 in Deo speravi; non timebo: quid faciet mihi homo?
13 I have made vows to you, God; with offerings I will fulfill them,	13 Super me sunt, Deus, vota tua; reddam laudationes tibi,
14 Once you have snatched me from death, kept my feet from stumbling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.	14 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte et pedes meos de lapsu, ut ambulem coram Deo in lumine viventium.
