Psalms 57
Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors.
For the music director; set to Lit Do Not DestroyAl-tashheth. A Possibly, Epigrammatic Poem; or Atonement PsalmMikhtam of David, 1 Sam 22:1; 24:3when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me, For my soul 1takes refuge in You; And in the 2shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction 3passes by.2I will cry to God Most High, To God who 4accomplishes all things for me.3He will 5send from heaven and save me; He rebukes the one who 67tramples upon me. Selah God will send His 89favor and His truth.
4My soul is among 10lions; I must lie among those who devour, Among sons of mankind whose 11teeth are spears and arrows, And their 12tongue is a sharp sword.513Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth.6They have prepared a 14net for my steps; My soul is 15bowed down; They 16dug a pit before me; They themselves have 17fallen into the midst of it. Selah
718My 19heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!8Awake, 20my glory! Awake, 21harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.922I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the 23nations.10For Your 24goodness is great to the heavens And Your 25truth to the clouds.1126Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth.
