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.
For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; For my soul taketh refuge in thee: Yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, Until [these] calamities be overpast.
2 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
I will cry unto God Most High, Unto God that performeth [all things] 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, [When] he that would swallow me up reproacheth; (Selah) God will send forth his lovingkindness 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 them that 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; [Let] thy glory [be] 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 digged a pit before me; They are fallen into the midst thereof 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 unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For thy lovingkindness is great unto the heavens, And thy truth unto the skies.
11 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
