57 «Al maestro del coro. Sul motivo: "on distruggere". Inno di Davide quando, inseguito da Saul, fuggì nella caverna.» Abbi pietà di me, o DIO, abbi pietà di me, perché l'anima mia si rifugia in te; mi rifugio all'ombra delle tue ali finché siano passate le calamità.

griderò a DIO l'Altissimo, a DIO che porta a compimento ogni cosa per me.

Egli manderà dal cielo a salvarmi; egli sgrida colui che vuole divorarmi. (Sela) DIO manderà la sua benignità e la sua verità.

L'anima mia è come in mezzo ai leoni; dimoro tra gente che vomita fuoco in mezzo a uomini i cui denti sono lance e dardi, e la cui lingua è una spada affilata.

Sii innalzato al di sopra dei cieli, o DIO; risplenda la tua gloria su tutta la terra.

Essi han teso una rete sui miei passi; io son tutto ricurvo; hanno scavato una fossa davanti a me ma essi stessi son caduti dentro. (Sela)

Il mio cuore è ben disposto, O DIO, il mio cuore è ben disposto; io canterò e loderò.

Risvegliati, o spirito mio; risvegliati, salterio e cetra; io risveglierò l'alba.

Ti celebrerò fra i popoli, o Signore, canterò le tue lodi fra le nazioni

10 perché grande fino al cielo è la tua benignità, e la tua verità fino alle nuvole

11 Sii innalzato al di sopra dei cieli, o DIO; risplenda la tua gloria su tutta la terra.

57 Be 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.

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

He 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.

My 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.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

They 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.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.

Prayer for Safety from Enemies(A)

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David (B)when he fled from Saul into the cave.

57 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me!
For my soul trusts in You;
(C)And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
(D)Until these calamities have passed by.

I will cry out to God Most High,
To God (E)who performs all things for me.
(F)He shall send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches the one who [b]would swallow me up. Selah
God (G)shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

My soul is among lions;
I lie among the sons of men
Who are set on fire,
(H)Whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.
(I)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

(J)They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

(K)My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise.
Awake, (L)my glory!
Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.

(M)I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the [c]nations.
10 (N)For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds.

11 (O)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
