Ps 57

0 Psalm 57 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tash-heth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. 1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me; For my soul takes refuge in you: Yea, in the shadow of your wings will I take refuge, Until [these] calamities be overpast. 2 I will cry to God Most High, To God that performs [all things] for me. 3 He will send from heaven, and save me, [When] he who would swallow me up reproaches; Selah God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth. 4 My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword. 5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] your glory [be] above all the earth. 6 They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down: They have dug a pit before me; They are fallen into its midst themselves. Selah 7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises. 8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early. 9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises to you among the nations. 10 For your lovingkindness is great to the heavens, And your truth to the skies. 11 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] your glory [be] above all the earth.
