Psalmorum 56
1 in finem pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est David in tituli inscriptione cum tenuerunt eum Allophili in Geth miserere mei Deus quoniam conculcavit me homo tota die inpugnans 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 omnia consilia 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 Deus
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8 vitam meam adnuntiavi tibi posuisti lacrimas 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?
