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