Psalms 55:1-10 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

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.

3. My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

4. From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

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.

6. All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

7. They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

8. for nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,

9. I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

10. Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.
