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 inscriptione cum tenuerunt eum Allophili in Geth miserere mei Deus quoniam conculcavit me homo tota die inpugnans 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 omnia consilia 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 Deus
8 Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottel: are they not in thy register?
vitam meam adnuntiavi 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; quae 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
