Psalms 56

DOUAI-RHEIMS	VULGATA
1 Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar ) when the Philistines held him in Geth.	1 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.
2 Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.	2 Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
3 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.	3 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
4 From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.	4 Misit de cælo, et liberavit me ; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
5 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against 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 long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.	6 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
7 They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,	7 Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
8 for nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,	8 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum ; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
9 I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.	9 Exsurge, gloria mea ; exsurge, psalterium et cithara : exsurgam diluculo.
10 Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.	10 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus :
11 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.	11 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:	12 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
