Psalms 57
Below each verse in the original comes an approximate reading, in italics, for anyone who wants to pronounce the text aloud. It is not academic transliteration: it does not mark stress or settle the cases that depend on grammatical analysis, and the four-letter Name is read “Yahweh”, by the founder’s decision — the Hebrew pointing instructs saying “Adonai”, and Portuguese Bibles render it “SENHOR”.
The numbering differs in this chapter. The original has a different number of verses from the Portuguese — this happens in 134 of the 1,189 chapters, mostly in the Psalms, because the Hebrew superscription (“A psalm of David”) is counted as verse 1. That is why the two texts appear separately, each with its own numbering, instead of paired: pairing here would put a verse next to the wrong one.
1Salmo “Mictão” para o regente, conforme “Altachete”; de Davi, quando fugia de diante de Saul, na caverna: Tem misericórdia de mim, ó Deus, tem misericórdia de mim; porque minha alma confia em ti, e eu me refugio sob a sombra de tuas asas, até que os [meus] problemas passem de mim.
2Clamarei ao Deus Altíssimo; a Deus, que cumprirá [sua obra] em mim.
3Ele enviará desde os céus e me livrará, humilhando ao que procura me demorar. (Selá)Deus enviará sua bondade e sua verdade.
4Minha alma está no meio dos leões, estou deitado [entre] brasas ardentes, filhos de homens, cujos dentes são lanças e flechas, e a língua deles são espada afiada.
5Exalta-te sobre os céus, ó Deus; [esteja] tua glória sobre toda a terra.
6Prepararam uma rede de armadilha para os meus passos, minha alma [estava] abatida; cavaram perante mim uma cova, [porém] eles mesmos caíram nela. (Selá)
7Firme está meu coração, ó Deus; meu coração está firme; eu cantarei, e louvarei com músicas.
8Desperta-te, ó glória minha! Desperta, lira e harpa; despertarei ao amanhecer.
9Eu te louvarei entre os povos, Senhor; cantarei louvores a ti entre as nações.
10Pois tua bondade é grande, [alcança] até os céus; e a tua fidelidade até as nuvens mais altas.
11Exalta-te sobre os céus, ó Deus; [esteja] tua glória sobre toda a terra.
