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 THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF SAUL INTO A CAVE. Favor me, O God, favor me, For my soul is trusting in You, And I trust in the shadow of Your wings, Until the calamities pass over.
2 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
3 Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
He sends from the heavens, and saves me, He reproached [the one] who is panting after me. (Selah) God sends forth His kindness and His truth.
4 et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames—sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, Your glory above all the earth.
6 Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
They have prepared a net for my steps, My soul has bowed down, They have dug a pit before me, They have fallen into its midst. (Selah)
7 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
My heart is prepared, O God, My heart is prepared, I sing and praise.
8 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
Awake, my glory, awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
9 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
I thank You among the peoples, O Lord, I praise You among the nations.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For Your kindness [is] great to the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
11 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.]
Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Your glory above all the earth!
