The Book of Psalms
Psalm 55
Miserere mei, Deus.
A prayer of David in danger and distress.
 1 |
Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance form the sanctuary: for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. |
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. |
3 |
My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me. |
4 |
From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee. |
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. |
6 |
All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil. |
7 |
They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul, |
8 |
For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces. O God, |
9 |
I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set me tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise. |
10 |
Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God. |
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. |
12 |
In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee: |
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. |
