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
`In Ebreu thus, To the ouercomyng on the doumb culuer of fer drawing awei, the comely song of Dauid, whanne Filisteis helden hym in Geth. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomer for the doumb culuer, for it yede awei fer. Dauid meke and symple made this salm, whanne Palesteyns helden hym in Geth. God, haue thou merci on me, for a man hath defoulid me; al dai he impugnyde, and troublide me.
2 conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die quoniam multi bellantes adversum me
Myn enemyes defouliden me al dai; for manye fiyteris weren ayens me.
3 ab altitudine diei timebo ego vero in te sperabo
Of the hiynesse of dai Y schal drede; but God Y schal hope in thee.
4 in Deo laudabo sermones meos in Deo speravi non timebo quid faciat mihi caro
In God Y schal preise my wordis; Y hopide in God, Y schal not drede what thing fleisch schal do to me.
5 tota die verba mea execrabantur adversum me omnia consilia eorum in malum
Al dai thei cursiden my wordis; ayens me alle her thouytis weren in to yuel.
6 inhabitabunt et abscondent ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt sicut sustinuerunt animam meam
Thei schulen dwelle, and schulen hide; thei schulen aspie myn heele.
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos in ira populos confringes Deus
As thei abiden my lijf, for nouyt schalt thou make hem saaf; in ire thou schalt breke togidre puplis.
8 vitam meam adnuntiavi tibi posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo sicut et in promissione tua
God, Y schewide my lijf to thee; thou hast set my teeris in thi siyt. As and in thi biheest, Lord;
9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum in quacumque die invocavero te ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es
thanne myn enemyes schulen be turned abak. In what euere dai Y schal inwardli clepe thee; lo! Y haue knowe, that thou art my God.
10 in Deo laudabo verbum in Domino laudabo sermonem
In God Y schal preise a word; in the Lord Y schal preyse a word.
11 in Deo speravi non timebo quid faciat mihi homo
Y schal hope in God; Y schal not drede what thing a man schal do to me.
12 in me sunt Deus vota tua; quae reddam laudationes tibi
God, thin auowis ben in me; whiche Y schal yelde heriyngis to thee.
13 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte et pedes meos de lapsu ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium
For thou hast delyuerid my lijf fro deth, and my feet fro slidyng; that Y pleese bifore God in the liyt of hem that lyuen.
