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 gracious to me, O God, for people trample on me; all day long foes oppress me;
2 (55-3) My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
2
my enemies trample on me all day long, for many fight against me. O Most High,
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; I am not afraid; what can flesh 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 seek to injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 (55-7) They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,
6
They stir up strife, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they hoped to have my life,
7 (55-8) For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces. O God,
7
so repay them for their crime; in wrath cast down the peoples, 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.
8
You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your record?
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.
9
Then my enemies will retreat in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me.
10 (55-11) In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.
10
In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 (55-11) In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
11
in God I trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me?
12 (55-12) In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:
12
My vows to you I must perform, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.
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.
13
For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of life.
