Psalms 56

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster Tune: 'The oppression of distant princes' Of David In a quiet voice When thePhilistines seized him in Gath] Take pity on me, God, as they harry me, pressing their attacks home all day.	1 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.
2 Those who harry me lie in wait for me al day, countless are those who attack me from the heights.	2 Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you,	3 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
4 in God, whose word I praise, in God I put my trust and have no fear, what power has human strengthover me?	4 Misit de cælo, et liberavit me ; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
5 Al day long they carp at my words, their only thought is to harm 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 they gather together, lie in wait and spy on my movements, as though determined to take my life.	6 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
7 Because of this crime reject them, in your anger, God, strike down the nations.	7 Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
8 You yourself have counted up my sorrows, col ect my tears in your wineskin.	8 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum ; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
9 Then my enemies wil turn back on the day when I cal . This I know, that God is on my side.	9 Exsurge, gloria mea ; exsurge, psalterium et cithara : exsurgam diluculo.
10 In God whose word I praise, in Yahweh whose word I praise,	10 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus :
11 in God I put my trust and have no fear; what can mortal man do to me?	11 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
12 I am bound by the vows I have made, God, I will pay you the debt of thanks,	12 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
13 for you have saved my life from death to walk in the presence of God, in the light of the living.
