Psalmorum 57
1 In finem, ne disperdas. 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.
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 cælo, 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 sagittæ, 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 cælos, 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.
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, et 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 cælos 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 cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.]
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
