Salm 55 (56):2-7b,9-14

Tama fil-kelma tal-Mulej
Dehra ta’ Kristu fi tbatijetu. (S.Ġirolmu) 

Ħenn għalija, o Alla, †
għax qegħdin ikasbruni, *
il-jum kollu jagħmlu għalija u jagħfsu fuqi.
Il-jum kollu jkasbruni l-għedewwa tiegħi, *
għax ħafna huma dawk li jeħduha miegħi. 

Fik, Alla l-Għoli, jien nittama, *
meta jkolli għal xiex nibża’.
Bl-għajnuna ta’ Alla nfaħħar kelmtu; †
f’Alla nafda, m’għandix għax nibża’; *
x’jista’ jagħmilli l-bniedem? 

Il-jum kollu jqassu u jgħidu fuqi, *
ħsiebhom biss kif jagħmluli l-ħsara.
Jinġemgħu flimkien u jistaħbew, *
jgħassu l-mixi tiegħi.
Int għoddejt kull ċaqliqa tiegħi; †
iġma’ fi flixkun id-dmugħ tiegħi. *
Mhuwiex dan fil-ktieb tiegħek? 

Imbagħad jerġgħu lura l-għedewwa tiegħi,
meta jiena nsejjaħlek. *
Dan jien naf, li Alla hu miegħi.
Bl-għajnuna ta’ Alla nfaħħar kelmtu; *
bl-għajnuna tal-Mulej infaħħar kelmtu.
F’Alla nitma, m’għandix għax nibża’; *
x’jista’ jagħmilli l-bniedem?
O Alla, jien marbut bil-wegħdiet tiegħek; *
għalhekk inroddlok sagrifiċċji ta’ tifħir.
Għax mill-mewt int ħlistli ’l ħajti †
u ’l riġli mill-waqgħa, *
biex nimxi quddiem Alla fid-dawl tal-ħajjin. 

Glorja.

Daytime Prayer, Thursday 11 April 2024

Psalm 56:2-7b, 9-14
Trust in God’s word

This psalm shows Christ in his passion (Saint Jerome).

Have mercy on me, God, men crush me; *
they fight me all day long and oppress me.
My foes crush me all day long, *
for many fight proudly against me.

When I fear, I trust in you, *
in God, whose word I praise.
In God I trust, I shall not fear: *
what can mortal man do to me?

All day long they distort my words, *
all their thought is to harm me.
They band together in ambush, *
track me down and seek my life.

You have kept an account of my wanderings; †
you have kept a record of my tears; *
are they not written in your book?
Then my foes will be put to flight *
on the day that I call to you.

This I know, that God is on my side. *
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise †
in God I trust; I shall not fear; *
what can mortal man do to me?

I am bound by the vows I made you. *
O God, I will offer you praise
for you have rescued my soul from death, *
you kept my feet from stumbling
that I may walk in the presence of God *
and enjoy the light of the living.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
