Psalms 57
1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in thee. Yea, in the shadow of thy wings I will take refuge until calamities be passed by.
Psalmus, in finem, ne corrumpas, David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam. Miserere mei Deus, miserere mei: quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
2 I will cry to God Most High, to God who performs for me.
Clamabo ad Deum altissimum: Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him who would swallow me up. (Selah) God will send forth his loving kindness and his truth.
Misit de caelo, et liberavit me: dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam, et veritatem suam,
4 My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum: dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittae: et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, thy glory above all the earth.
Exaltare super caelos Deus: et in omnem terram gloria tua.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me. They are fallen into the midst of it themselves. (Selah)
Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis: et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam: et inciderunt in eam.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed. I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
8 Awake up, my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.
Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
9 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10 For thy loving kindness is great to the heavens, and thy truth to the skies.
Quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, thy glory above all the earth.
Exaltare super caelos Deus: et super omnem terram gloria tua.
