Psalm 55

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

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

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

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

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

They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel.

As they have waited for my soul,

For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces.

O God, I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight.

As also in thy promise shall my enemies be turned back.

In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know that thou art my God.

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.

In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee.

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.

Miserére mei, Deus, quóniam conculcávit me homo:
tota die impúgnans pressit me.

Conculcavérunt me inimíci mei tota die:
quóniam multi bellántes advérsum me.

Ab altitúdine diei timébo:
et ego in te sperábo.

In Deo laudábo sermónes meos;
in Deo sperávi: non timébo quid fáciat mihi caro.

Tota die verba mea exsecrabántur:
adversum me omnes cogitatiónes eórum in malum.

Inhabitábunt, et abscondent:
et calcáneum meum observábunt.

Sicut sustinuérunt ánimam meam, profugábo.

Deus, in ira pópulos humiliábis.

Vitam meam annuntiávi tibi:
posuísti lácrimas meas in conspéctu tuo.

Sicut et in promissióne tua:
convertántur inimíci mei retrórsum.

In quacúmque die invocávero te,
ecce cognóvi quóniam Deus meus es.

In Deo laudábo verbum:
in Dómino laudábo sermónem.

In Deo sperávi: non timébo quid fáciat mihi homo.

In me sunt, Deus, vota tua,
quæ reddam laudatiónes tibi.

Quóniam eripuísti ánimam meam de morte:
et pedes meos de lapsu.

Ut pláceam coram Deo in lúmine vivéntium.
