Tehillim (Psalms) 57
57
1Show me favour, O Elohim, show me favour! For in You my being is taking refuge; And in the shadow of Your wings I take refuge, Until destruction passes by.
2I cry out to the Most High Elohim, To Ěl who is perfecting all matters for me.
3He sends from the heavens and saves me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah. Elohim sends forth His loving-commitment and His truth.
4My being is in the midst of lions; I lie among those who breathe fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue is a sharp sword.
5Be exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens; Let Your esteem be above all the earth.
6They have prepared a net for my footsteps; My being was bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; They fell into the midst of it! Selah.
7My heart is firm, O Elohim, My heart is firm; I sing and praise.
8Awake, my esteem! Awake, harp and lyre! I awake the dawn.
9I praise You among the peoples, O יהוה; I sing to You among the nations.
10For Your loving-commitment is great up to the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds.
11Be exalted above the heavens, O Elohim; Let Your esteem be above 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."
