Psalms 57

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster Tune: 'Do not destroy' Of David In a quiet voice When he escaped from Saul inthe cave] Take pity on me, God, take pity on me, for in you I take refuge, in the shadow of your wings I takerefuge, until the destruction is past.	1 Magistro chori. Secundum " Ne destruxeris ". David. Miktam. Quando a Saul in cavernam fugit.
2 I call to God the Most High, to God who has done everything for me;	2 Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confugit anima mea; et in umbra alarum tuarum confugiam, donec transeant insidiae.
3 may he send from heaven and save me, and check those who harry me;Pause may God send hisfaithful love and his constancy.	3 Clamabo ad Deum Altissimum, Deum, qui benefecit mihi.
4 I lie surrounded by lions, greedy for human prey, their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongue asharp sword.	4 Mittet de caelo et liberabit me; dabit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Mittet Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, God! Your glory over al the earth!	5 Anima mea recumbit in medio catulorum leonum devorantium filios hominum. Dentes eorum arma et sagittae, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
6 They laid a snare in my path -- I was bowed with care -- they dug a pit ahead of me, but fel in itthemselves.Pause	6 Exaltare super caelos, Deus, super omnem terram gloria tua.
7 My heart is ready, God, my heart is ready; I wil sing, and make music for you.	7 Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvavit se anima mea; foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et ipsi inciderunt in eam.
8 Awake, my glory, awake, lyre and harp, that I may awake the Dawn.	8 Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum;
9 I will praise you among the peoples, Lord, I wil make music for you among nations,	9 cantabo et psalmum dicam. Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara, excitabo auroram.
10 for your faithful love towers to heaven, your constancy to the clouds.	10 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in nationibus,
11 Be exalted above the heavens, God! Your glory over al the earth!	11 quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
	12 Exaltare super caelos, Deus, super omnem terram gloria tua.
