Psalmorum 57
1 Psalmus, in finem, ne corrumpas, 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 trusts in you: yes, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over.
2 Clamabo ad Deum altissimum: Deum qui benefecit mihi.
I will cry to God most high; to God that performs all things for me.
3 Misit de caelo, et liberavit me: dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam, et veritatem suam,
He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum: dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittae: et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
My soul is among lions: and I lie even 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 caelos Deus: et in omnem terram gloria tua.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your 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 dig a pit before me, into the middle whereof they are fallen 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 and give praise.
8 Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
I will praise you, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to you among the nations.
10 Quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For your mercy is great to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.
11 Exaltare super caelos Deus: et super omnem terram gloria tua.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: let your glory be above all the earth.
