Psalms 57
1 To the Chief Musician. "Do not destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. When he fled from the face of Saul into the Cave. Show me favour, O God, Show me favour, For, in thee, hath my soul sought refuge, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I seek refuge, Until the storm of ruin pass 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 unto God Most High, Unto GOD, who accomplisheth on my behalf:
Clamabo ad Deum altissimum: Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3 He will send out of heaven, that he may save me, He who is panting for me, hath reproached. (Selah) God will send out his lovingkindness and his faithfulness.
Misit de caelo, 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 amidst flames, As for the sons of men, Their teeth, are spear and arrows, And, their tongue, is 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, Above all the earth, thy glory!
Exaltare super caelos Deus: et in omnem terram gloria tua.
6 A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down, —They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! (Selah)
Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis: et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam: et inciderunt in eam.
7 Fixed is my heart, O God, Fixed is my heart, I will sing, and touch the strings.
Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
8 Awake, mine honour, Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn;
Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
9 I will thank thee, among the peoples, O My Lord, I will praise thee in song, among the races of men.
Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10 For, great, unto the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, And, unto the skies, thy faithfulness.
Quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
11 Be exalted Above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
Exaltare super caelos Deus: et super omnem terram gloria tua.
