Psalms 56

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 For the director. According to Yonath elem rehoqim. A miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him at Gath.	1 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.
2 Have mercy on me, God, for I am treated harshly; attackers press me all the day.	2 Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
3 My foes treat me harshly all the day; yes, many are my attackers. O Most High,	3 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
4 when I am afraid, in you I place my trust.	4 Misit de cælo, et liberavit me ; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
5 God, I praise your promise; in you I trust, I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?	5 et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
6 All the day they foil my plans; their every thought is of evil against me.	6 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
7 They hide together in ambush; they watch my every step; they lie in wait for my life.	7 Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
8 They are evil; watch them, God! Cast the nations down in your anger!	8 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum ; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
9 My wanderings you have noted; are my tears not stored in your vial, recorded in your book?	9 Exsurge, gloria mea ; exsurge, psalterium et cithara : exsurgam diluculo.
10 My foes turn back when I call on you. This I know: God is on my side.	10 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus :
11 God, I praise your promise;	11 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
12 in you I trust, I do not fear. What can mere mortals do to me?	12 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
13 I have made vows to you, God; with offerings I will fulfill them,
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.
