Psalms 56

1 For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted 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 have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.

3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.

Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.

4 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.

5 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.

6 They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,

7 You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.

pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.

8 O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.

Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:

9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.

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] saying.

In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem.

11 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.

12 The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:

13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.

quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
