Psalms Chapter 57

1aTo the choirmaster, Al-tashcheth.↑

A Golden Psalm of David when he fled from Saul into the cave.

1bHave mercy on me, O God,

Have mercy on me.

For my being trusts in you,

And I will trust in the shadow of your wings

Until the dangers have passed.

2I will cry out to God the Most High

– To God who does the accomplishing for me.

3He will send help out from heaven and save me.

He reproached him who thirsts for me.

Selah.

God will send his kindness and his truth.

4My being is among lions;

I lie among incensed men

– Sons of men whose teeth are a spear and arrows,

Whose tongue is a sharp sword.

5May you be exalted over the heavens, O God;

May your glory be over all the earth.

6They have prepared a net for my steps.

My being is despondent.

They have dug a pit in front of me,

But they have fallen into it themselves.

Selah.

7My heart is resolved, O God,

My heart is resolved.

Let me sing

And make psalm melody.

8Awake, my glory,

Awake, O lute and harp;

Let me awake at dawn.

9I will give thanks to you among the various peoples, O Lord*;

I will make psalm melody to you among the nations.

10For your kindness is great,

Reaching up to heaven,

As is your truth,

Reaching up to the sky.

11May you be exalted above the heavens, O God;

May your glory be over all the earth.
