Psalms 57
1 For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for I take refuge in you until these troubles are over. I stay under your wings for protection until this destruction is over.
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 to God Most High, to God, who does all things for me.
Clamabo ad Deum altissimum: Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3 He will send help from heaven and save me, he is angry with those who crush me. (Selah) God will send me his loving kindness and his faithfulness.
Misit de caelo, et liberavit me: dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam, et veritatem suam,
4 My life is among lions; I am among those who are ready to devour me. I am among people whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongues are sharp swords.
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, God, above the heavens; let your glory be above all the earth.
Exaltare super caelos Deus: et in omnem terram gloria tua.
6 They spread out a net for my feet; I was distressed. They dug a pit in front of me. They themselves have fallen into the middle of it! (Selah)
Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis: et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam: et inciderunt in eam.
7 My heart is fixed, God, my heart is fixed; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
8 Wake up, my honored heart; wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.
Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
9 I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10 For great is your unfailing love, reaching to the heavens; and your faithfulness to the clouds.
Quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens; may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
Exaltare super caelos Deus: et super omnem terram gloria tua.
