Psalms 56
1 Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresses 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 My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O you most High.
Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in you.
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 fear what flesh can do to me.
In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
5 Every day 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, when they wait for my soul.
Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in your anger cast down the people, O God.
pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
8 You tell my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book?
Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:
9 When I cry to you, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
10 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem.
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me.
In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
12 Your vows are on me, O God: I will render praises to you.
In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
13 For you have delivered my soul from death: will not you deliver 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.
