JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.
1(57-1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. (57-2) Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me, for in Thee hath my soul taken refuge; yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I take refuge, until calamities be overpast.
2[Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum.
2(57-3) I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.
3Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini; in terra injustitias manus vestræ concinnant.
3(57-4) He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth; Selah; God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
4Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva; erraverunt ab utero: locuti sunt falsa.
4(57-5) My soul is among lions, I do lie down among them that are aflame; even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdæ et obturantis aures suas,
5(57-6) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
6quæ non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter.
6(57-7) They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down; they have digged a pit before me, they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah
7Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringet Dominus.
7(57-8) My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
8Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.
8(57-9) Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
9Sicut cera quæ fluit auferentur; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.
9(57-10) I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
10Priusquam intelligerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos.
10(57-11) For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies.
11Lætabitur justus cum viderit vindictam; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.
11(57-12) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
12Et dicet homo: Si utique est fructus justo, utique est Deus judicans eos in terra.]
