| [1]To the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me, |
[1]In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam. |
| [2]Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High, |
[2]Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas. |
| [3]The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee. |
[3]Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi. |
| [4]In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me. |
[4]Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam, |
| [5]All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil, |
[5]et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum; dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus. |
| [6]They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul. |
[6]Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua. |
| [7]By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God. |
[7]Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam. |
| [8]My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book? |
[8]Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam. |
| [9]Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me. |
[9]Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo. |
| [10]In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word. |
[10]Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus; |
| [11]In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me, |
[11]quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua. |
| [12]On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee. |
[12]Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua. |
| [13]For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living! |
