< Psalms 57 >
1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF SAUL INTO A CAVE. Favor me, O God, favor me, For my soul is trusting in You, And I trust in the shadow of Your wings, Until the calamities pass over.
in finem ne disperdas David in tituli inscriptione cum fugeret a facie Saul in spelunca miserere mei Deus miserere mei quoniam in te confidit anima mea et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo donec transeat iniquitas
2 I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
clamabo ad Deum altissimum Deum qui benefecit mihi
3 He sends from the heavens, and saves me, He reproached [the one] who is panting after me. (Selah) God sends forth His kindness and His truth.
misit de caelo et liberavit me dedit in obprobrium conculcantes me diapsalma misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam
4 My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames—sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear 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 exalted above the heavens, O God, Your 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 has bowed down, They have dug a pit before me, They have fallen into its midst. (Selah)
laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis et incurvaverunt animam meam foderunt ante faciem meam foveam et inciderunt in eam diapsalma
7 My heart is prepared, O God, My heart is prepared, I sing and praise.
paratum cor meum Deus paratum cor meum cantabo et psalmum dicam
8 Awake, my glory, awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
exsurge gloria mea exsurge psalterium et cithara exsurgam diluculo
9 I thank You among the peoples, O Lord, I praise You among the nations.
confitebor tibi in populis Domine psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus
10 For Your kindness [is] great to the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua et usque ad nubes veritas tua
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Your glory above all the earth!
exaltare super caelos Deus et super omnem terram gloria tua
