Psalms 57

    Psalm 57[1] For the director of music. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A miktam.[2] When he had fled from Saul into the cave.
  1. Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take 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 vindicates me.
  3. He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[3] God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
  4. I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell 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.
  7. My heart, O God, is steadfast, 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, 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.
  1. In Hebrew texts 57:1-11 is numbered 57:2-12.
  2. Title: Probably a literary or musical term
  3. The Hebrew has 'Selah' (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 6.
