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-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.” Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for in thee my soul seeketh protection, and under the shadow of thy wings will I seek protection, until the mischief be passed away.
2 clamabo ad Deum altissimum Deum qui benefecit mihi
I will call unto God, the Most High; unto God that accomplisheth [his kindness] on me.
3 misit de caelo et liberavit me dedit in obprobrium conculcantes me diapsalma misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam
He will send from heaven, and save me, though he that longeth to swallow me up utter reproach. (Selah) God will send forth his kindness 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 in the midst of lions; I lie down [in the midst of] those that send out flames, [those] sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongue is a sharpened sword.
5 exaltare super caelos Deus et in omnem terram gloria tua
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God: above all the earth let thy glory be.
6 laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis et incurvaverunt animam meam foderunt ante faciem meam foveam et inciderunt in eam diapsalma
A net have they prepared for my steps; my soul hath been bent down; they have dug before me a pit; they are fallen into the midst thereof. (Selah)
7 paratum cor meum Deus paratum cor meum cantabo et psalmum dicam
Firm is my heart, O God, firm is my heart: I will sing and play.
8 exsurge gloria mea exsurge psalterium et cithara exsurgam diluculo
Awake, my spirit; awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.
9 confitebor tibi in populis Domine psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus
I will thank thee among the people, O Lord: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua et usque ad nubes veritas tua
For great, even unto the heavens, is thy kindness, and even unto the skies [extendeth] thy truth.
11 exaltare super caelos Deus et super omnem terram gloria tua
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God: above all the earth let thy glory be.
