SupportPsalms 57
PSALM 57 Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors. For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,For my soul takes refuge in You;And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refugeUntil destruction passes by.
2I will cry to God Most High,To God who accomplishes all things for me.
3He will send from heaven and save me;He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah.God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.
4My soul is among lions;I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrowsAnd their tongue a sharp sword.
5Be exalted above the heavens, O God;Let Your glory be above all the earth.
6They 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.
7My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
8Awake, my glory!Awake, harp and lyre!I will awaken the dawn.
9I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;I will sing praises to You among the nations.
10For Your lovingkindness is great to the heavensAnd Your truth to the clouds.
11Be exalted above the heavens, O God;Let Your glory be above all the earth.
