Psalms 56

1 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.

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

2 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.

conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die quoniam multi bellantes adversum me

3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

ab altitudine diei timebo ego vero in te sperabo

4 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?

in Deo laudabo sermones meos in Deo speravi non timebo quid faciat mihi caro

5 All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.

tota die verba mea execrabantur adversum me omnia consilia eorum in malum

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.

inhabitabunt et abscondent ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt sicut sustinuerunt animam meam

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

pro nihilo salvos facies illos in ira populos confringes Deus

8 Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?

vitam meam adnuntiavi tibi posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo sicut et in promissione tua

9 Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.

tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum in quacumque die invocavero te ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es

10 In God (I will praise [his] word), In Jehovah (I will praise [his] word),

in Deo laudabo verbum in Domino laudabo sermonem

11 In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?

in Deo speravi non timebo quid faciat mihi homo

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank-offerings unto thee.

in me sunt Deus vota tua; quae reddam laudationes tibi

13 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?

quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte et pedes meos de lapsu ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium
