Psalms 57
1 For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave. Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in you: and in the shadow of your wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
Al maestro de coro. Por el tono de “No destruyas”. De David. Miktam. Cuando huyendo de Saúl, se refugió en una cueva. Ten piedad de mí, oh Dios, ten piedad de mí, ya que a Ti se acoge mi alma. A la sombra de tus alas me refugio hasta que pase la calamidad.
2 I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. (Pause)
Clamo al Dios Altísimo, al Dios que es mi bienhechor.
3 He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;
Quiera El enviar del cielo a quien me salve; entregue al oprobio a quienes me persiguen; mande Dios su misericordia y su fidelidad.
4 and he has delivered my soul from the midst of [lions']whelps: I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are arms and [missile] weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Yazgo en medio de leones, que devoran con avidez a los hijos de los hombres. Sus dientes son lanzas y saetas; y su lengua, cortante espada.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Muéstrate excelso, oh Dios, sobre los cielos; brille tu gloria sobre toda la tierra.
6 They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it [themselves]. (Pause)
Tendieron una red a mis pasos, deprimieron mi alma; habían cavado una fosa delante de mí; han caído en ella.
7 My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yes will sing psalms.
Mi corazón está pronto, oh Dios; firme está mi corazón; quiero cantar y entonar salmos.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will awake early.
Despierta, oh alma mía; salterio y cítara despertaos; despertaré a la aurora.
9 O Lord, I will give thanks to you among the nations: I will sing to you among the Gentiles.
Te alabaré, Señor, entre los pueblos, te cantaré himnos entre las naciones.
10 For your mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.
Porque tu misericordia es grande hasta el cielo, y tu fidelidad, hasta las nubes.
11 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Muéstrate excelso, oh Dios, sobre los cielos; brille tu gloria sobre toda la tierra.
