Psalms, 57

The New American Bible

1 For the director. Do not destroy. A miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into a cave.

2 Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me. In you I seek shelter. In the shadow of your wings I seek shelter till harm pass by.

3 I call to God Most High, to God who provides for me.

4 May God send help from heaven to save me, shame those who trample upon me. May God send fidelity and love. Selah

5 I must lie down in the midst of lions hungry for human prey. Their teeth are spears and arrows; their tongue, a sharpened sword.

6 Show yourself over the heavens, God; may your glory appear above all the earth.

7 They have set a trap for my feet; my soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me. May they fall into it themselves! Selah

8 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and chant praise.

9 Awake, my soul; awake, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn.

10 I will praise you among the peoples, Lord; I will chant your praise among the nations.

11 For your love towers to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies.

12 Show yourself over the heavens, God; may your glory appear above all the earth.
