55:10. Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God. 55:11. 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. 55:12. In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will lpay, praises to thee: 55:13. 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. Psalms Chapter 56 Miserere mei, Deus. The prophet prays in his affliction, and praises God for his delivery. 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 24.] Destroy not... Suffer me not to be destroyed. 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. 56:3. I will cry to God the most high; to God who hath done good to me. 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, 56:5. And he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons ofmen, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 56:6. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth. 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. 56:8. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and rehearse a psalm. 56:9. Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early. 56:10. I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations. 56:11. For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds. 56:12. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth. Psalms Chapter 57 Si vere utique. David reproveth the wicked, and foretelleth their punishment. 57:1. Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title. 57:2. If in very deed ye speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men. 57:3. For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth. 57:4. The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things. 57:5. Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears: 57:6. Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely. 57:7. God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions. 57:8. They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened. 57:9. Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
