Psalm 57
1
Psalm 57 For the director of music. [To the tune of] "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A miktam. [1] When he had fled from Saul into the cave.
1
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.
2
I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills [his purpose] for me.
3
He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; Selah God sends his love and his faithfulness.
4
I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts-- men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6
They spread a net for my feet-- I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path-- but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
7
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
8
Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9
I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
10
For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
