Psalm 57

New King James Version

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.

²I will cry out to God Most High,
To God ^(E)who performs all things for me.
³^(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.

⁴My 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.
⁵^(I)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

⁶^(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

⁷^(K)My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise.
⁸Awake, ^(L)my glory!
Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.

⁹^(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.

57 (57:1) Au chef des chantres. «Ne détruis pas.» Hymne de David. Lorsqu'il se réfugia dans la caverne, poursuivi par Saül. (57:2) Aie pitié de moi, ô Dieu, aie pitié de moi! Car en toi mon âme cherche un refuge; Je cherche un refuge à l'ombre de tes ailes, Jusqu'à ce que les calamités soient passées.

²(57:3) Je crie au Dieu Très Haut, Au Dieu qui agit en ma faveur.

³(57:4) Il m'enverra du ciel le salut, Tandis que mon persécuteur se répand en outrages; -Pause. Dieu enverra sa bonté et sa fidélité.

⁴(57:5) Mon âme est parmi des lions; Je suis couché au milieu de gens qui vomissent la flamme, Au milieu d'hommes qui ont pour dents la lance et les flèches, Et dont la langue est un glaive tranchant.

⁵(57:6) Élève-toi sur les cieux, ô Dieu! Que ta gloire soit sur toute la terre!

⁶(57:7) Ils avaient tendu un filet sous mes pas: Mon âme se courbait; Ils avaient creusé une fosse devant moi: Ils y sont tombés. -Pause.

⁷(57:8) Mon coeur est affermi, ô Dieu! mon coeur est affermi; Je chanterai, je ferai retentir mes instruments.

⁸(57:9) Réveille-toi, mon âme! réveillez-vous, mon luth et ma harpe! Je réveillerai l'aurore.

⁹(57:10) Je te louerai parmi les peuples, Seigneur! Je te chanterai parmi les nations.

¹⁰(57:11) Car ta bonté atteint jusqu'aux cieux, Et ta fidélité jusqu'aux nues.

¹¹(57:12) Élève-toi sur les cieux, ô Dieu! Que ta gloire soit sur toute la terre!

Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod

Molitva i slavljenje Boga u progonstvu

Voditelju zbora. Po melodiji »Ne uništi«. Davidov »miktam«. Napisan kad je pobjegao od Šaula i sakrio se u spilju.

57 Smiluj mi se, Bože, smiluj mi se,
    jer ti si mojoj duši utočište.
Sklonit ću se pod tvojim krilima
    dok ne prođe oluja uništenja.
²Bogu Svevišnjem vapim,
    Bogu, koji se uvijek pobrine za mene.
³S nebesa šalje pomoć i spašava me,
    sramoti izvrgava one koji me progone. Selah

Bog će pokazati svoju ljubav
i svoju vjernost prema meni.

⁴Kao da ležim među lavovima,
među gladnim ljudožderima,
čiji su zubi kao koplja i strijele,
a jezici kao oštri mačevi.

⁵Bože, nad nebo se uzdigni,
proslavi se po cijeloj zemlji.

⁶Mrežu su mi postavili
da bi me uhvatili.
Jamu su preda mnom iskopali,
ali sami su u nju upali. Selah

⁷Srce mi je usredotočeno na tebe, Bože,
    usredotočeno je srce moje.
    Tebi ću pjevati i svirati.
⁸Probudi se, dušo moja!
    Probudi se, harfo i liro!
    Zoru ću probuditi.
⁹Gospodaru, zahvaljivat ću ti među narodima,
    pjesme ću ti pjevati među nacijama.
¹⁰Tvoja je ljubav velika do neba
    i tvoja vjernost do oblaka.

¹¹Bože, nad nebo se uzdigni,
proslavi se po cijeloj zemlji.
