Psalmorum 57
1 in finem ne disperdas David in tituli inscriptione cum fugeret a facie Saul in spelunca miserere mei Deus miserere mei quoniam in te confidit anima mea et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo donec transeat iniquitas
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
2 clamabo ad Deum altissimum Deum qui benefecit mihi
I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
3 misit de caelo et liberavit me dedit in obprobrium conculcantes me diapsalma misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam
He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. (Selah) God sends forth His loving devotion 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 the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 exaltare super caelos Deus et in omnem terram gloria tua
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6 laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis et incurvaverunt animam meam foderunt ante faciem meam foveam et inciderunt in eam diapsalma
They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it!
7 paratum cor meum Deus paratum cor meum cantabo et psalmum dicam
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
8 exsurge gloria mea exsurge psalterium et cithara exsurgam diluculo
Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 confitebor tibi in populis Domine psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus
I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua et usque ad nubes veritas tua
For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 exaltare super caelos Deus et super omnem terram gloria tua
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
