Parallel
Psalms 55
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil (note: Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.) of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo ; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.
Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they bring down disaster upon me and resent me in their anger.
Ab altitudine diei timebo : ego vero in te sperabo.
My heart pounds within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
In Deo laudabo sermones meos ; in Deo speravi : non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Tota die verba mea execrabantur ; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
Inhabitabunt, et abscondent ; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah
pro nihilo salvos facies illos ; in ira populos confringes.
I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi ; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua :
O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
In Deo laudabo verbum ; in Domino laudabo sermonem. In Deo speravi : non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi :
For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
