Psalms, 57

1. [For the choirmaster Tune: 'Do not destroy' Of David In a quiet voice When he escaped from Saul in the cave] Take pity on me, God, take pity on me, for in you I take refuge, in the shadow of your wings I take refuge, until the destruction is past.

1. To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast.

2. I call to God the Most High, to God who has done everything for me;

2. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all things] for me.

3. may he send from heaven and save me, and check those who harry me;Pause may God send his faithful love and his constancy.

3. He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

4. I lie surrounded by lions, greedy for human prey, their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongue a sharp sword.

4. My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even 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 exalted above the heavens, God! Your glory over all the earth!

5. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.

6. They laid a snare in my path -- I was bowed with care -- they dug a pit ahead of me, but fell in it themselves.Pause

6. They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen [themselves]. Selah.

7. My heart is ready, God, my heart is ready; I will sing, and make music for you.

7. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

8. Awake, my glory, awake, lyre and harp, that I may awake the Dawn.

8. Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.

9. I will praise you among the peoples, Lord, I will make music for you among nations,

9. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

10. for your faithful love towers to heaven, your constancy to the clouds.

10. For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

11. Be exalted above the heavens, God! Your glory over all the earth!

11. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
