| 1 | Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. | In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth. | Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μεμακρυμμένου, τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν, ὁπότε ἐκράτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐν Γέθ. |
| 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. | Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me. | Ἐλεήσον με ὁ Θεὸς, ὅτι κατεπάτησέ με ἄνθρωπος, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν πολεμῶν ἔθλιψέ με. |
| 3 | My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me. | Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me. | Κατεπάτησάν με οἱ ἐχθροί μου ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀπὸ ὕψους ἡμέρας, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ πολεμοῦντές με. |
| 4 | From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee. | Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo. | Φοβηθήσονται, ἐγὼ δὲ ἐλπιῶ ἐπὶ σοί. |
| 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. | In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro. | Ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ἐπαινέσω τοὺς λόγους μου, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ἤλπισα, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι τί ποιήσει μοι σάρξ. |
| 6 | All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil. | Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum. | Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν τοὺς λόγους μου ἐβδελύσσοντο, κατʼ ἐμοῦ πάντες οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτῶν εἰς κακόν. |
| 7 | They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul, | Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam, | Παροικήσουσι καὶ κατακρύψουσιν αὐτοὶ, τὴν πτέρναν μου φυλάξουσι· καθάπερ ὑπέμεινα τῇ ψυχῇ μου. |
| 8 | For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God, | pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes. | Ὑπὲρ τοῦ μηθενὸς σώσεις αὐτοὺς ἐν ὀργῇ λαοὺς κατάξεις· ὁ Θεὸς |
| 9 | I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise. | Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua: | τὴν ζωήν μου ἐξήγγειλά σοι, ἔθου τὰ δάκρυά μου ἐνώπιόν σου, ὡς καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐπαγγελίᾳ σου. |
| 10 | Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God. | tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es. | Ἐπιστρέψουσιν οἱ ἐχθροί μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλέσωμαί σε· ἰδοὺ ἔγνων ὅτι Θεός μου εἶ σύ. |
| 11 | In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me. | In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem. In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo. | Ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ αἰνέσω ῥῆμα, ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ αἰνέσω λόγον. |
| 12LXX 55:13 | In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee: | In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quae reddam, laudationes tibi: | Ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ Θεὸς αἱ εὐχαὶ, ἃς ἀποδώσω αἰνέσεώς σου. |
| 13LXX 55:14 | 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. | quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium. | Ὅτι ἐῤῥύσω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου, καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἐξ ὀλισθήματος, τοῦ εὐαρεστῆσαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν φωτὶ ζώντων. |
