< Psalmorum 56 >
1 In finem, Pro populo, qui a Sanctis longe factus est, David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.
Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up. Fighting all the day long he oppresses me.
2 Miserere mei Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo: tota die impugnans tribulavit me.
My enemies would swallow me up all the day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die: quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.
4 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
In God I will praise his word. In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5 In Deo laudabo sermones meos, in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
All the day long they wrest my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Tota die verba mea execrabantur: adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum, in malum.
They gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.
7 Inhabitabunt et abscondent: ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8 pro nihilo salvos facies illos: in ira populos confringes.
Thou number my wanderings. Put thou my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book?
9 Deus, vitam meam annunciavi tibi: posuisti lacrymas meas in conspectu tuo, Sicut et in promissione tua:
Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.
10 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum: In quacumque die invocavero te: ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
In God I will praise his word. In Jehovah I will praise his word.
11 In Deo laudabo verbum, in Domino laudabo sermonem: in Deo speravi, non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 In me sunt Deus vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi.
Thy vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to thee.
13 Quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
For thou have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
