Psalms 57
57
Confident Prayer for Deliverance
1For the director. Do not destroy.#Do not destroy: probably the title of the melody to which the Psalm was to be sung. A miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into a cave.#1 Sm 22:1.
I
2Have mercy on me, God,
have mercy on me.
In you I seek refuge.
In the shadow of your wings#The shadow of your wings: probably refers to the wings of the cherubim (powerful winged creatures) whose wings spread over the ark in the inner chamber of the Temple (1 Kgs 6:23–28). I seek refuge
till harm pass by.#Ps 17:8; 36:8.
3I call to God Most High,
to God who provides for me.
4May God send help from heaven to save me,
shame those who trample upon me.
May God send fidelity and mercy.
Selah
5I must lie down in the midst of lions
hungry for human prey.#Ps 17:11–12; 22:22; 58:7.
Their teeth are spears and arrows;
their tongue, a sharpened sword.#Ps 11:2; 64:4.
6Be exalted over the heavens, God;
may your glory appear above all the earth.#Ps 72:19; Nm 14:21.
II
7They have set a trap for my feet;
my soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me.
May they fall into it themselves!#Ps 7:15; 9:16–17; 140:5–6.
Selah
8My heart is steadfast, God,
my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and chant praise.#Ps 108:2.
9Awake, my soul;
awake, lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn.#I will wake the dawn: by a bold figure the psalmist imagines the sound of music and singing will waken a new day.#Jb 38:12.
10I will praise you among the peoples, Lord;
I will chant your praise among the nations.#Ps 9:12; 18:50.
11For your mercy towers to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.#Ps 36:6; 71:19.
12Exalt yourself over the heavens, God;
may your glory appear above all the earth.
