Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New International Version NIV
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.
1
Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.
2 (55-3) My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
2
My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.
3 (55-4) From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.
3
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
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.
4
In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
5 (55-6) All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
5
All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 (55-7) They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,
6
They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.
