Salmos 57
Reina-Valera Antigua
57 Al Músico principal: sobre No destruyas: Michtam de David, cuando huyó de delante de Saúl á la cueva. TEN misericordia de mí, oh Dios, ten misericordia de mí; Porque en ti ha confiado mi alma, Y en la sombra de tus alas me ampararé, Hasta que pasen los quebrantos.
2 Clamaré al Dios Altísimo, Al Dios que me favorece.
3 El enviará desde los cielos, y me salvará De la infamia del que me apura; (Selah) Dios enviará su misericordia y su verdad.
4 Mi vida está entre leones; Estoy echado entre hijos de hombres encendidos: Sus dientes son lanzas y saetas, Y su lengua cuchillo agudo.
5 Ensálzate sobre los cielos, oh Dios; Sobre toda la tierra tu gloria.
6 Red han armado á mis pasos; Hase abatido mi alma: Hoyo han cavado delante de mí; En medio de él han caído. (Selah.)
7 Pronto está mi corazón, oh Dios, mi corazón está dispuesto: Cantaré, y trovaré salmos.
8 Despierta, oh gloria mía; despierta, salterio y arpa: Levantaréme de mañana.
9 Alabarte he en los pueblos, oh Señor; Cantaré de ti en las naciones.
10 Porque grande es hasta los cielos tu misericordia, Y hasta las nubes tu verdad.
11 Ensálzate sobre los cielos, oh Dios; Sobre toda la tierra tu gloria.
Psalm 57
English Standard Version
Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth
To the choirmaster: according to (A)Do Not Destroy. A (B)Miktam[a] of David, when he fled from Saul, in (C)the cave.
57 (D)Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
    for in you my soul (E)takes refuge;
in (F)the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
    (G)till the storms of destruction pass by.
2 I cry out to God Most High,
    to God who (H)fulfills his purpose for me.
3 (I)He will send from heaven and save me;
    he will put to shame (J)him who tramples on me. Selah
(K)God will send out (L)his steadfast love and his faithfulness!
4 My soul is in the midst of (M)lions;
    I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose (N)teeth are spears and arrows,
    whose (O)tongues are sharp swords.
5 (P)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
    Let your glory be over all the earth!
6 They set (Q)a net for my steps;
    my soul was (R)bowed down.
They (S)dug a pit in my way,
    but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
7 (T)My heart is (U)steadfast, O God,
    my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
8     (V)Awake, (W)my glory![b]
Awake, (X)O harp and lyre!
    I will awake the dawn!
9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
    I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your (Y)steadfast love is great to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 (Z)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
    Let your glory be over all the earth!

King James Version
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.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6 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.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 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.
