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 him that excelleth. A Psalme of David on Michtam, concerning the dumme doue in a farre countrey, when the Philistims tooke him in Gath. Be mercifull vnto me, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.
2 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die: quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
Mine enemies would dayly swallowe mee vp: for many fight against me, O thou most High.
3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
When I was afrayd, I trusted in thee.
4 In Deo laudabo sermones meos, in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
I will reioyce in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.
5 Tota die verba mea execrabantur: adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum, in malum.
Mine owne wordes grieue me dayly: all their thoughtes are against me to doe me hurt.
6 Inhabitabunt et abscondent: ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
They gather together, and keepe them selues close: they marke my steps, because they waite for my soule.
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos: in ira populos confringes.
They thinke they shall escape by iniquitie: O God, cast these people downe in thine anger.
8 Deus, vitam meam annunciavi tibi: posuisti lacrymas meas in conspectu tuo, Sicut et in promissione tua:
Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottel: are they not in thy register?
9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum: In quacumque die invocavero te: ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
When I cry, then mine enemies shall turne backe: this I know, for God is with me.
10 In Deo laudabo verbum, in Domino laudabo sermonem:
I will reioyce in God because of his worde: in the Lord wil I reioyce because of his worde.
11 in Deo speravi, non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
In God doe I trust: I will not be afrayd what man can doe vnto me.
12 In me sunt Deus vota tua, quae reddam, laudationes tibi.
Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render prayses vnto thee.
13 Quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, and also my feete from falling, that I may walke before God in the light of the liuing.
