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