Psm57:1 [For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave]. Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, For my soul takes refuge in Thee; And in the shadow of Thy wings I will take refuge, Until destruction passes by.
Psm57:2 I will cry to God Most High, To God who accomplishes [all things] for me.
Psm57:3 He will send from heaven and save me; He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah. God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.
Psm57:4 My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who breathe forth fire, [Even] the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Psm57:5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; [Let] Thy glory [be] above all the earth.
Psm57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They [themselves] have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
Psm57:7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
Psm57:8 Awake, my glory; Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!
Psm57:9 I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to Thee among the nations.
Psm57:10 For Thy lovingkindness is great to the heavens, And Thy truth to the clouds.
Psm57:11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; [Let] Thy glory [be] above all the earth.
Psm57:12
