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
For the choir director; al tashcheth; #57:0 Unknown musical term. a miktam by David when he fled from Saul into the cave.
1Have pity on me, O God. Have pity on me,
because my soul takes refuge in you.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until destructive storms pass by.
2I call to God Most High,
to the God who does everything for me.
3He sends his help from heaven and saves me.
He disgraces the one who is harassing me. Selah
God sends his mercy and his truth!
4My soul is surrounded by lions.
I must lie down with man-eating lions.
Their teeth are spears and arrows.
Their tongues are sharp swords.
5May you be honored above the heavens, O God.
Let your glory extend over the whole earth.
6 ⌞My enemies⌟ spread out a net to catch me.
(My soul is bowed down.)
They dug a pit to trap me,
but then they fell into it. Selah
7My heart is confident, O God.
My heart is confident.
I want to sing and make music.#57:7 Verses 7–11 are virtually identical in wording to Psalm 108:1–5.
8Wake up, my soul! #57:8 Or “my glory.”
Wake up, harp and lyre!
I want to wake up at dawn.
9I want to give thanks to you among the people, O Lord.
I want to make music to praise you among the nations
10because your mercy is as high as the heavens.
Your truth reaches the skies.
11May you be honored above the heavens, O God.
Let your glory extend over the whole earth.
