1 Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.2 My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.4 In God, whose word I praise — in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?5 All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.7 Because of their wickedness do not "let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.8 Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll "— are they not in your record?9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise —11 in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?12 I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you.13 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
1 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam. 2 [Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei,quoniam in te confidit anima mea.Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo,donec transeat iniquitas.3 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum,Deum qui benefecit mihi.4 Misit de clo, et liberavit me ;dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me.Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,5 et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum.Dormivi conturbatus.Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagitt,et lingua eorum gladius acutus.6 Exaltare super clos, Deus,et in omnem terram gloria tua.7 Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis,et incurvaverunt animam meam.Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam,et inciderunt in eam. 8 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum ;cantabo, et psalmum dicam.9 Exsurge, gloria mea ;exsurge, psalterium et cithara :exsurgam diluculo.10 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine,et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus :11 quoniam magnificata est usque ad clos misericordia tua,et usque ad nubes veritas tua.12 Exaltare super clos, Deus,et super omnem terram gloria tua.]
