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 Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long he fighting 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 be many that fight proudly against me.
3 ab altitudine diei timebo ego vero in te sperabo
What time I am afraid, I will put my 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 have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; 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, even as they have waited 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 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
Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: this I know, that 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 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 thank offerings 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: [hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
