Psalms 57
1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.
In finem, ne disperdas. 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 call unto God, the Most High; unto God that performeth [all] for me.
Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3 He will send from the heavens and save me; he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.
Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
4 My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down [among] them that breathe out flames, 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 sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!
Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof. (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 psalms.
Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
9 I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Lord; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10 For thy loving-kindness is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!
Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
