PSALMVS LV — MISERERE MEI DEVS

LATINE
Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo: tota die impugnans tribulavit me.
Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die: quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
In Deo laudabo sermones meos, in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
Tota die verba mea exsecrabantur: adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
Inhabitabunt et abscondent: ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam, pro nihilo salvos facies illos: in ira populos confringes.
Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi: posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua.
Tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum: in quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
In Deo laudabo verbum, in Domino laudabo sermonem: in Deo speravi, non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quae reddam, laudationes tibi:
Quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
ENGLISH
Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.
In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul, for nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces.
O God, I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, as also in thy promise.
Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.
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 me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:
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.
