The Psalter According to the Seventy
Psalm 55
For the End: Concerning the People Distant from the Holies. By David, for a Pillar Inscription. When the Foreigners Took Him in Geth.
Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me down all the day long; making war, he hath afflicted me.
2
Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day long, for many are they that war against me from on high. By day I shall not fear; but as for me, I will hope in Thee.
3
In God will I commend my words, in God I have set my hope; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
4
All the day long they detested my words, all their thoughts were against me for evil.
5
They will dwell near and will hide themselves; they will watch where I set my heel, even as they have waited for my soul.
6
On no account wilt Thou save them, in wrath wilt Thou bring down the peoples, O God.
7
My life have I declared unto Thee; Thou hast set my tears before Thee.
8
Even as in Thy promise, mine enemies shall be turned back.
9
In what day soever I shall call upon Thee, behold, I know that Thou art God.
10
In God will I praise His word, in the Lord will I praise His speech; in God have I put my hope, I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
11
In me, O God, there be vows, which I will render in praise of Thee.
12
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from sliding, that I may be well-pleasing before the Lord in the light of the living.
