57:1 For the director. According to “Do not destroy.” A miktam of David. When he fled from Saul into the cave.
57:2 Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will seek shelter in the shadow of your wings until the time of danger has passed.
57:3 I call out to God Most High, to God who takes care of me.
57:4 May he send his help from heaven to deliver me and put to shame those who trample upon me; Selah may God send his kindness and his faithfulness.
57:5 I lie prostrate in the midst of lions who are hungrily seeking human prey. Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongues are razor-sharp swords.
57:6 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory shine over all the earth.
57:7 They set a trap for my feet, and I was overcome with distress. They dug a pit in my path, but they themselves fell into it. Selah
57:8 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and chant your praise;
57:9 awake, my soul! Awake, lyre and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
57:10 I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O Lord; I will sing your praises among the nations.
57:11 For your kindness extends to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies.
57:12 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory radiate over all the earth.
