Psalms 56
1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up. Fighting all the day long he oppresses me.
In finem, Pro populo, qui a Sanctis longe factus est, David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.
2 My enemies would swallow me up all the day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
Miserere mei Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo: tota die impugnans tribulavit me.
3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.
Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die: quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
4 In God I will praise his word. In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
5 All the day long they wrest my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
In Deo laudabo sermones meos, in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
6 They gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.
Tota die verba mea execrabantur: adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum, in malum.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
Inhabitabunt et abscondent: ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
8 Thou number my wanderings. Put thou my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book?
pro nihilo salvos facies illos: in ira populos confringes.
9 Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.
Deus, vitam meam annunciavi tibi: posuisti lacrymas meas in conspectu tuo, Sicut et in promissione tua:
10 In God I will praise his word. In Jehovah I will praise his word.
tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum: In quacumque die invocavero te: ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
11 In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
In Deo laudabo verbum, in Domino laudabo sermonem: in Deo speravi, non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to thee.
In me sunt Deus vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi.
13 For thou have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
Quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
