56:1 Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave. [1 Kings xxiv.]
In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.

56:2 Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.

56:3 I will cry to God, the most High; to God, who hath done good to me.
Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.

56:4 He hath sent from heaven, and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth,
Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,

56:5 and he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.

56:6 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.

56:7 They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.

56:8 My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and rehearse a psalm.
Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.

56:9 Arise, O my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.

56:10 I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:

56:11 For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.

56:12 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.
Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
