Psalms 57
1 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, until [these] 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 cry unto God Most High; unto God that performeth [all things] for me.
Clamabo ad Deum altissimum: Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me, [when] he that would swallow me up reproacheth; (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy 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 among lions; I lie among them that 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 sagittæ: et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [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; thy soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof 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 unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the skies.
Quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
Exaltare super cælos Deus: et super omnem terram gloria tua.
