Psalms 55

LN EN DE
55:1

In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.

Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary: for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth.

55:2

Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo ; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.

Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.

55:3

Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.

My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

55:4

Ab altitudine diei timebo : ego vero in te sperabo.

From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

55:5

In Deo laudabo sermones meos ; in Deo speravi : non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.

In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.

55:6

Tota die verba mea execrabantur ; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.

All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

55:7

Inhabitabunt, et abscondent ; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,

They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

55:8

pro nihilo salvos facies illos ; in ira populos confringes.

For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces. O God,

55:9

Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi ; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua :

I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set me tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

55:10

tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.

Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.

55:11

In Deo laudabo verbum ; in Domino laudabo sermonem. In Deo speravi : non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.

In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.

55:12

In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi :

In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:

55:13

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

Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
