Psalms 56

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (55-1) <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.> (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.

2 (55-3) My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

3 (55-4) From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

4 (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.

5 (55-6) All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

6 (55-7) They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

7 (55-8) For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces. O God,

8 (55-9) I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set me tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

9 (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.

10 (55-11) In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.

11 (55-11) In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.

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

13 (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.

New International Version NIV

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.
