Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 56:1-5 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into a cave.

2. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me. For my soul trusts in you. And I will hope in the shadow of your wings, until iniquity passes away.

3. I will cry out to God Most High, to God who has been kind to me.

4. He sent from heaven and freed me. He has surrendered into disgrace those who trampled me. God has sent his mercy and his truth.

5. And he has rescued my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men: their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword.
