Psalm 57
57
To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1Be 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.
2I will cry unto God most high;
Unto God that performeth all things for me.
3He 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.
4My 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.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let thy glory be above all the earth.
6They 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.
7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed:
I will sing and give praise.
8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp:
I myself will awake early.
9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people:
I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10For thy mercy is great unto the heavens,
And thy truth unto the clouds.
11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:
Let thy glory be above all the earth.

1For the leader. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” By David, a mikhtam, when he fled from Sha’ul into the cave:
2Show me favor, God, show me favor;
for in you I have taken refuge.
Yes, I will find refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the storms have passed.
3I call to God, the Most High,
to God, who is accomplishing his purpose for me.
4He will send from heaven and save me
when those who would trample me down mock me. (Selah)
God will send his grace and his truth.
5I am surrounded by lions,
I am lying down among people breathing fire,
men whose teeth are spears and arrows
and their tongues sharp-edged swords.
6Be exalted, God, above heaven!
May your glory be over all the earth!
7They prepared a snare for my feet,
but I am bending over [to avoid it].
They dug a pit ahead of me,
but they fell into it themselves. (Selah)
8My heart is steadfast, God, steadfast.
I will sing and make music.
9Awake, my glory! Awake, lyre and lute!
I will awaken the dawn.
10I will thank you, Adonai, among the peoples;
I will make music to you among the nations.
11For your grace is great, all the way to heaven,
and your truth, all the way to the skies.
12Be exalted, God, above heaven!
May your glory be over all the earth!
