Psalms 57
1 God, be merciful to me! Act mercifully toward me because I come to you to protect me. I ask you to protect me [like little birds are protected under their mother’s] wings [MET] until the storm/danger is ended.
Kaasiannak, O Dios, kaasiannak, ta agkamangak kenka agingga a malpas dagiti pakariribukak. Agtalinaedak iti sirok dagiti payakmo nga agpaay a salaknib agingga a malpas daytoy a pannakadadael.
2 God, you who are greater than all other gods, I cry out to you, the one who enables me to do all that you desire.
Umasugakto kenka O Dios a Kangatoan, iti Dios, a mangted iti amin a kasapulak.
3 You will answer me from heaven and rescue me, but you will cause those who oppress me to be [defeated and] disgraced! (Think about that!) God will [always] faithfully love me and (will be faithful/will do what he promises).
Manipud langit, sungbatannak ket isalakannak, inton babalawennak ti tao nga agtarigagay a mangalun-on kaniak; (Selah) ipaayto ti Dios kaniak ti kinapudno iti tulagna ken ti kinamatalekna.
4 [Sometimes] I am surrounded by [my enemies who are like] lions that [kill] humans; [they are like] lions that chew with their teeth [animals that they kill]; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and [the false things that] they say [MTY] [hurt people as much as] sharp swords [hurt people] [MET].
Kaduak dagiti leon; addaak kadagidiay nakasagana a mangalun-on kaniak. Addaak kadagiti tattao a kasla gayang ken pana dagiti ngipenda, ken natadem a kampilan dagiti dilada.
5 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over the earth!
Maitan-okka, O Dios, iti tangatang; maitag-ay koma ti dayagmo iti entero a daga.
6 [It is as if] [MET, HYP] my enemies spread a net to seize me, and I became very distressed [IDM]. [It is as if] [MET, HYP] they dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, but they themselves fell into it!
Nangipakatda iti iket nga agpaay kadagiti sakak; Nagtuokak. Nangkalida ti abut iti sangoanak. Natnagda a mismo iti tengnga daytoy! (Selah)
7 God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
Natalged ti pusok, O Dios, natalged ti pusok; agkantaak, wen, agkantaak ti pagdaydayaw,
8 I will awaken myself; I will arise before the sun rises and [praise you while I play] my harp or my (lyre/small harp).
Agriingka, O kararuak, agriingka, saltero ken arpa; riingek ti bannawag.
9 Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
Agyamanak kenka, O Apo, kadagiti tattao; agkantaak kadagiti pagdaydayaw kenka kadagiti nasion.
10 because your faithful love for us is [as great as the distance from the earth] to the sky, and because your (faithfulness/faithfully doing what you promise) is [as great as the distance] up to the clouds [MET].
Ta ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo ket naindaklan aggingga kadagiti langit, ken dumanon kadagiti tangatang ti kinamatalekmo.
11 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Maintan-okka, O Dios, iti tangatang; maitan-ok koma ti dayagmo iti entero a daga.
