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 upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
When I am afraid, I will 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 I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.
5 Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
Every day they pervert 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, when they wait for my soul.
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thy anger cast down the people, 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.
When I cry to thee, then shall my enemies turn back: 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 the LORD will I 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 man can do to me.
12 In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises to 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 deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
