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 Chief Musician. "Do not destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. When he fled from the face of Saul into the Cave. Show me favour, O God, Show me favour, For, in thee, hath my soul sought refuge, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I seek refuge, Until the storm of ruin pass by.
2 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
I will cry unto God Most High, Unto GOD, who accomplisheth on my behalf:
3 Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
He will send out of heaven, that he may save me, He who is panting for me, hath reproached. (Selah) God will send out his lovingkindness and his faithfulness.
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 amidst flames, As for the sons of men, Their teeth, are spear and arrows, And, their tongue, is a sharp sword.
5 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
Be exalted Above the Heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
6 Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down, —They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! (Selah)
7 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
Fixed is my heart, O God, Fixed is my heart, I will sing, and touch the strings.
8 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
Awake, mine honour, Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn;
9 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
I will thank thee, among the peoples, O My Lord, I will praise thee in song, among the races of men.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For, great, unto the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, And, unto the skies, thy faithfulness.
11 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.
Be exalted Above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
