Psalms 56

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into a cave.	1 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.
2 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me. For my soul trusts in you. And I will hope in the shadow of your wings, until iniquity passes away.	2 Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
3 I will cry out to God Most High, to God who has been kind to me.	3 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
4 He sent from heaven and freed me. He has surrendered into disgrace those who trampled me. God has sent his mercy and his truth.	4 Misit de cælo, et liberavit me ; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
5 And he has rescued my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men: their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword.	5 et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
6 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth.	6 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
7 They prepared a snare for my feet, and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, yet they have fallen into it.	7 Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
8 My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm.	8 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum ; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
9 Rise up, my glory. Rise up, psaltery and harp. I will arise in early morning.	9 Exsurge, gloria mea ; exsurge, psalterium et cithara : exsurgam diluculo.
10 I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. I will compose a psalm to you among the nations.	10 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus :
11 For your mercy has been magnified, even to the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.	11 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
12 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth.	12 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
