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 Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over.
2 clamabo ad Deum altissimum Deum qui benefecit mihi
I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
3 misit de caelo et liberavit me dedit in obprobrium conculcantes me diapsalma misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam
He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached — who is panting after me. (Selah) God sendeth 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 [among] flames — sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 exaltare super caelos Deus et in omnem terram gloria tua
Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth Thine honour.
6 laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis et incurvaverunt animam meam foderunt ante faciem meam foveam et inciderunt in eam diapsalma
A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. (Selah)
7 paratum cor meum Deus paratum cor meum cantabo et psalmum dicam
Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise.
8 exsurge gloria mea exsurge psalterium et cithara exsurgam diluculo
Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
9 confitebor tibi in populis Domine psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus
I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations.
10 quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua et usque ad nubes veritas tua
For great unto the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds 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 Thine honour!
