< 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
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my 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 caelo et liberavit me dedit in obprobrium conculcantes me diapsalma 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 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 diapsalma
They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst 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 exsurge gloria mea exsurge psalterium et cithara exsurgam diluculo
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
9 confitebor tibi in populis Domine psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua et usque ad nubes veritas tua
For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 exaltare super caelos Deus et super omnem terram gloria tua
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
