Salmi 57

Il mio cuore è saldo

For the Chief Musician; [set to ]Al-tashheth. [A Psalm ]of David: Michtam: when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, until [these ]calamities be overpast. ²I will cry unto God Most High; unto God that performeth [all things ]for me. ³He shall send from heaven, and save me, [when ]he that would swallow me up reproacheth; Selah God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

⁴My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. ⁵Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let ]thy glory [be ]above all the earth. ⁶They have prepared a net for my steps; thy soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah ⁷My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.

⁸Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early. ⁹I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. ¹⁰For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the skies.

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