Psalmorum 56
1 Psalmus 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.
Unto the end. For the people who have become far removed from the Sacred. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when the Philistines held him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, because man has trampled over me. All day long, he has afflicted me by fighting against me.
2 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die: quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
My enemies have trampled over me all day long. For those who make war against me are many.
3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
From the height of the day, I will be afraid. But truly, I will hope in you.
4 In Deo laudabo sermones meos, in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
In God, I will praise my words. 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.
All day long, they curse my words. All their intentions are for evil against me.
6 Inhabitabunt et abscondent: ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
They will dwell and hide themselves. They will watch my heel, just as they waited for my soul;
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos: in ira populos confringes.
because of this, nothing will save them. In your anger, you will crush the people.
8 Deus, vitam meam annunciavi tibi: posuisti lacrymas meas in conspectu tuo, Sicut et in promissione tua:
O God, I have announced my life to you. You have placed my tears in your sight, and even in your promise.
9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum: In quacumque die invocavero te: ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
Then my enemies will be turned back. On whatever day that I call upon you, behold, I know that you are my God.
10 In Deo laudabo verbum, in Domino laudabo sermonem:
In God, I will praise the word. In the Lord, I will praise his speech.
11 in Deo speravi, non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
In God, I have hoped. I will not fear what man can do to me.
12 In me sunt Deus vota tua, quae reddam, laudationes tibi.
My vows to you, O God, are in me. I will repay them. Praises be to you.
13 Quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from slipping, so that I may be pleasing in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
