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.
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 annunciavi tibi: posuisti lacrymas 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, quae 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?
