Psalmorum 56
1 In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth. [Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.
For the leader. On jonath elem rehokim. Of David. A michtam, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. O God, be gracious to me, for people trample upon me, all the day righting and pressing me.
2 Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
All the day enemies trample me; many there be who contend with me bitterly.
3 Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
In the day of my terror I trust in you.
4 In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
In God I maintain my cause, in God I fearlessly trust. What can flesh do to me?
5 Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
They torture me all the day, they ceaselessly plan to hurt me,
6 Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
banded together in secret, watching my every step, as those who hope for my death.
7 pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
Pay them out for their sin, O God, hurl down the strong in your anger.
8 Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:
You yourself count my wanderings. Put in your bottle my tears are they not in your book?
9 tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
Then shall my foes be turned back in the day that I call. Of this I am sure, because God is for me.
10 In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem.
In God I maintain my cause, in the Lord I maintain my cause.
11 In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
In God I fearlessly trust, what can people do to me?
12 In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
Your vows are upon me, O God, I will render thank-offerings to you;
13 quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.
because you have saved me from death, my feet from stumbling, to the end that I walk before God in the light of the living.
