Psalms 57
57
Be Exalted Over All the Earth
1For the music director, “Do Not Destroy,” a Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.
2Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I take refuge, until destruction passes by.
3I will cry out to El Elyon, to God who accomplishes it for me.
4He will send from heaven and save me. He rebukes the one trampling on me. Selah God is sending His mercy and His truth.
5My soul is in the midst of lions. I lie among those breathing fire— sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongue is a sharp sword.
6Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let Your glory be over all the earth!
7They spread a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me— they fell into it themselves. Selah
8My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will make music.
9Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
10I will praise You, my Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to You among the nations.
11For Your lovingkindness is great up to the heavens, and Your truth to the skies.
12Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let Your glory be over all the earth!

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."
