DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - Psalms - 55

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.

55:1  Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

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

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.

55:2  Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

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

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

55:3  Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

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

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

55:4  My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

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

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.

55:5  Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

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

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

55:6  And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

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

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

55:7  Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

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

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

55:8  I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

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

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

55:9  Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

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

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.

55:10  Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

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

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.

55:11  Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

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

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

55:12  For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

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

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.

55:13  But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

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

55:14  We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

55:15  Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

55:16  As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.

55:17  Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

55:18  He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

55:19  God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

55:20  He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

55:21  The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

55:22  Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

55:23  But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
