Psalmorum 57
1 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.
To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. When he fled from Saul in the cave. Have mercie vpon me, O God, haue mercie vpon me: for my soule trusteth in thee, and in the shadowe of thy wings wil I trust, till these afflictions ouerpasse.
2 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
I will call vnto the most high God, euen to the God, that performeth his promise toward me.
3 Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
He will send from heauen, and saue me from the reproofe of him that would swallowe me. (Selah) God wil send his mercy, and his trueth.
4 et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
My soule is among lions: I lie among the children of men, that are set on fire: whose teeth are speares and arrowes, and their tongue a sharpe sworde.
5 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauen, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.
6 Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
They haue layd a net for my steps: my soule is pressed downe: they haue digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the mids of it. (Selah)
7 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
Mine heart is prepared, O God, mine heart is prepared: I will sing and giue prayse.
8 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
Awake my tongue, awake viole and harpe: I wil awake early.
9 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For thy mercie is great vnto the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the cloudes.
11 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.]
Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.
