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.
To the chief music-maker; put to Jonath elem rehokim. Of David. Michtam. When the Philistines took him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.
2 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.
3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.
4 In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.
5 Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.
8 Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:
You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?
9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.
10 In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem.
In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.
11 In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
In God have I put my hope, I will have no fear of what man may do to me.
12 In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.
13 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.
