1 in finem ne disperdas David in tituli inscriptione cum fugeret a facie Saul in spelunca
2 Miserere mei Deus miserere mei
quoniam in te confidit anima mea
et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo donec transeat iniquitas
3 clamabo ad Deum altissimum Deum qui benefecit mihi
4 misit de caelo et liberavit me
dedit in obprobrium conculcantes me diapsalma
misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam
5 et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum
dormivi conturbatus
filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittae
et lingua eorum gladius acutus
6 exaltare super caelos Deus et in omnem terram gloria tua
7 laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis et incurvaverunt animam meam
foderunt ante faciem meam foveam
et inciderunt in eam diapsalma
8 paratum cor meum Deus paratum cor meum
cantabo et psalmum dicam
9 exsurge gloria mea exsurge psalterium et cithara
exsurgam diluculo
10 confitebor tibi in populis Domine
psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus
11 quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua
et usque ad nubes veritas tua
12 exaltare super caelos Deus et super omnem terram gloria tua
To the chief Musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.
1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 When I cry unto thee , then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
