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.
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in thee. Yea, in the shadow of thy wings I will take refuge until calamities be passed by.
2 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
I will cry to God Most High, to God who performs for me.
3 Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
He will send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him who would swallow me up. (Selah) God will send forth his loving 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 among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, thy 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 is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me. They are fallen into the midst of it themselves. (Selah)
7 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed. I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
8 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
Awake up, my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.
9 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For thy loving kindness is great to the heavens, and thy truth to the skies.
11 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, thy glory above all the earth.
