55:1 In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.

55:1 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.

55:2 Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo ; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.

55:2 Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.

55:3 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.

55:3 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

55:4 Ab altitudine diei timebo : ego vero in te sperabo.

55:4 From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

55:5 In Deo laudabo sermones meos ; in Deo speravi : non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.

55:5 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.

55:6 Tota die verba mea execrabantur ; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.

55:6 All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

55:7 Inhabitabunt, et abscondent ; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,

55:7 They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

55:8 pro nihilo salvos facies illos ; in ira populos confringes.

55:8 For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces. O God,

55:9 Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi ; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua :

55:9 I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set me tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

55:10 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.

55:10 Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.

55:11 In Deo laudabo verbum ; in Domino laudabo sermonem. In Deo speravi : non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.

55:11 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.

55:12 In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi :

55:12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:

55:13 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.

55:13 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.
