Psalms 56
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David on Michtam, concerning the dumme doue in a farre countrey, when the Philistims tooke him in Gath. Be mercifull vnto me, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.
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 Mine enemies would dayly swallowe mee vp: for many fight against me, O thou most High.
Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
3 When I was afrayd, I trusted in thee.
Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
4 I will reioyce in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.
In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
5 Mine owne wordes grieue me dayly: all their thoughtes are against me to doe me hurt.
Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
6 They gather together, and keepe them selues close: they marke my steps, because they waite for my soule.
Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
7 They thinke they shall escape by iniquitie: O God, cast these people downe in thine anger.
pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
8 Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottel: are they not in thy register?
Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:
9 When I cry, then mine enemies shall turne backe: this I know, for God is with me.
tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
10 I will reioyce in God because of his worde: in the Lord wil I reioyce because of his worde.
In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem.
11 In God doe I trust: I will not be afrayd what man can doe vnto me.
In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
12 Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render prayses vnto thee.
In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
13 For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, and also my feete from falling, that I may walke before God in the light of the liuing.
quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
