Psalms 57
1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yes, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities are 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 to God most high; to God that performeth [all things] for me.
Clamabo ad Deum altissimum: Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (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: [and] I lie [even 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; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst of which they have fallen [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 and give praise.
Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
9 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations.
Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10 For thy mercy [is] great to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
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.
