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 upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto 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.
Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be] many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
What time 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 unto me.
5 Tota die verba mea execrabantur: adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum, in malum.
Every day 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, when they wait for my soul.
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos: in ira populos confringes.
Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Deus, vitam meam annunciavi tibi: posuisti lacrymas meas in conspectu tuo, Sicut et in promissione tua:
Thou tellest 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 [unto thee], then shall mine 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 unto me.
12 In me sunt Deus vota tua, quae reddam, laudationes tibi.
Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises 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] not [thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
