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 Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he 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 against me haughtily.
3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.
4 In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; 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, because they wait 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 countest my wanderings; put 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 return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God is for me.
10 In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem.
In God will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.
11 In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; 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 thanks 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; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
