Psalmorum 57
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.
1Be 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[Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum.
2I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
3Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini; in terra injustitias manus vestræ concinnant.
3He 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.
4Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva; erraverunt ab utero: locuti sunt falsa.
4My 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.
5Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdæ et obturantis aures suas,
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6quæ non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter.
6They 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.
7Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringet Dominus.
7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.
8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9Sicut cera quæ fluit auferentur; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.
9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10Priusquam intelligerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos.
10For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11Lætabitur justus cum viderit vindictam; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.
11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
12Et dicet homo: Si utique est fructus justo, utique est Deus judicans eos in terra.]
