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 Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.
2 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.
3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.
4 In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?
5 Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8 Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:
Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?
9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.
10 In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem.
In God (I will praise [his] word), In Jehovah (I will praise [his] word),
11 In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?
12 In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank-offerings unto thee.
13 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [Hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
