Psalms 56:5-11 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

5. and he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

6. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.

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.

8. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will Sing, and rehearse a psalm.

9. Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.

10. I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.

11. For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
