Psalms 57
57
Ps 108:1–5
For the Music Director. To the melody of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious tome!
For my soul seeks refuge in You;
in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
until the ruinous storm passes by.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 I will cry to God Most High,
to God who vindicates me.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 He will send from heaven and save me
from the taunt of the one who crushes me. Selah
God will send forth His mercy and His truth.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 My soul is among lions,
and I lie among the sons of men who blaze like fire,
whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue a sharp sword.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
may Your glory be above all the earth.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 They have prepared a net for my steps;
my soul is bowed down;
they have dug a pit before me,
but they have fallen into it. Selah
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 My heart is fixed, O God,
my heart is fixed;
I will sing and give praise.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 Awake, my glory!
Awake, psaltery and harp!
I will awake the dawn.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 I will thank You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the nations.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 For Your mercy is great up to the heavens,
and Your truth extends to the clouds.

Psalm 57
57
1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title.
2 If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men.
3 For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.
4 Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.
5 Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,
6 who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.
7 God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions.
8 They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.
9 Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun.
10 Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.
11 The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
12 And man will say, "If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth."
