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.
Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
2 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me.
3 Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy 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.
And he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons 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, and 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 prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
7 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will Sing, and rehearse a psalm.
8 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
9 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.
