Psalmorum 56

1 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.

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.

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

Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.

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

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

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

9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.

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

10 In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem.

In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

11 In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.

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

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

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

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

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.
