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
“For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “The dumb dove among strangers.” A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.” Have pity upon me, O God! for man panteth for my life; My adversary daily oppresseth me!
2 conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die quoniam multi bellantes adversum me
Mine enemies daily pant for my life, And many are they who war proudly against me.
3 ab altitudine diei timebo ego vero in te sperabo
When I am in fear, I will put my trust in thee!
4 in Deo laudabo sermones meos in Deo speravi non timebo quid faciat mihi caro
Through God shall I praise his word; In God do I put my trust; I will not fear; What can flesh do to me?
5 tota die verba mea execrabantur adversum me omnia consilia 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 watch my steps, Lying in wait for my life.
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos in ira populos confringes Deus
Shall they escape by their iniquity? In thine anger cast down the people, O God!
8 vitam meam adnuntiavi tibi posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo sicut et in promissione tua
Count thou my wanderings; Put my tears into thy bottle! Are they not recorded in thy book?
9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum in quacumque die invocavero te ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es
When I cry to thee, my enemies shall turn back; This I know, that God is for me.
10 in Deo laudabo verbum in Domino laudabo sermonem
Through God shall I praise his word; I shall glory in the promise of Jehovah.
11 in Deo speravi non timebo quid faciat mihi homo
In God do I put my trust; I will not fear: What can man do to me?
12 in me sunt Deus vota tua; quae reddam laudationes tibi
Thy vows are upon me, O God! I will render praises to thee!
13 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte et pedes meos de lapsu ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium
For thou hast delivered me from death, Yea, my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
