< 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
Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresses 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 you most High.
3 ab altitudine diei timebo ego vero in te sperabo
What time I am afraid, I will trust in you.
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 omnia consilia eorum in malum
Every day they shift 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 Deus
Shall they escape by iniquity? in your anger cast down the people, O God.
8 vitam meam adnuntiavi tibi posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo sicut et in promissione tua
You tell my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book?
9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum in quacumque die invocavero te ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es
When I cry unto you, 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
Your vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto you.
13 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte et pedes meos de lapsu ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium
For you have delivered my soul from death: will not you deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
