57:1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when
he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be
merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yes, in the
shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these]
calamities are overpast.
57:2 I will cry to God most high; to God that performeth [all
things] for me.
57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach
of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth
his mercy and his truth.
57:4 My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them
that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are]
spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory
[be] above all the earth.
57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed
down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst of which
they have fallen [themselves]. Selah.
57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing
and give praise.
57:8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will
awake early.
57:9 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: I will sing
to thee among the nations.
57:10 For thy mercy [is] great to the heavens, and thy truth to
the clouds.
57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory
[be] above all the earth.
