Psalmi 57
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
57 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.
2 Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum.
3 Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini; in terra injustitias manus vestrae concinnant.
4 Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva; erraverunt ab utero: locuti sunt falsa.
5 Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdae et obturantis aures suas,
6 quae non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter.
7 Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringet Dominus.
8 Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.
9 Sicut cera quae fluit auferentur; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.
10 Priusquam intelligerent spinae vestrae rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos.
11 Laetabitur justus cum viderit vindictam; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.
12 Et dicet homo: Si utique est fructus justo, utique est Deus judicans eos in terra.
Psalm 57
New International Version
Psalm 57[a](A)
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When he had fled from Saul into the cave.(B)
1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.(C)
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings(D)
until the disaster has passed.(E)
2 I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who vindicates me.(F)
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,(G)
rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[c](H)
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.(I)
4 I am in the midst of lions;(J)
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.(K)
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.(L)
6 They spread a net for my feet(M)—
I was bowed down(N) in distress.
They dug a pit(O) in my path—
but they have fallen into it themselves.(P)
7 My heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;(Q)
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!(R)
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.(S)
