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 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 omnia consilia 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 Deus
They thinke they shall escape by iniquitie: O God, cast these people downe in thine anger.
8 vitam meam adnuntiavi tibi posuisti lacrimas 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.
