Text & translations
Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 55)Latin text 1 In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, 2 Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me. 3 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me. 4 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo. 5 In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo 6 Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum. 7 Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam, 8 pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes. 9 Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, 10 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi 11 In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem. In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo. 12 In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quae reddam, laudationes tibi: 13 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium. |
Church of England 1662 Book of Common PrayerEnglish text Unto the end, for a people far removed from the saints. David is in the inscription of the title, 1 Be merciful unto me, O God, for man goeth about to devour me: he is daily fighting, and troubling me. 2 Mine enemies are daily in hand to swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most Highest. 3 Nevertheless, though I am sometime afraid: yet put I my trust in thee. 4 I will praise God, because of his word: I have put my trust in God, and will not fear 5 They daily mistake my words: all that they imagine is to do me evil. 6 They hold all together, and keep themselves close: and mark my steps, when they lay wait for my soul. 7 Shall they escape for their wickedness: thou, O God, in thy displeasure shalt cast them down. 8 Thou tellest my flittings; put my tears into thy bottle: 9 Whensoever I call upon thee, then shall mine enemies be put to flight: this I know; 10 In God's word I will rejoice: in the Lord's word will I comfort me. 11 Yea, in God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. 12 Unto thee, O God, will I pay my vows: unto thee will I give thanks. 13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling: that I may walk before God in the light of the living. |
