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 upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die quoniam multi bellantes adversum me
My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 ab altitudine diei timebo ego vero in te sperabo
When I am afraid, I will 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 I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.
5 tota die verba mea execrabantur adversum me omnia consilia eorum in malum
Every day they pervert 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 thy anger cast down the people, O God.
8 vitam meam adnuntiavi tibi posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo sicut et in promissione tua
Thou numberest 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
When I cry to thee, then shall my 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 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 my soul from death: wilt thou not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
