57:1  (For the music leader. To the tune “Don't Destroy.” A special psalm by David when he was in the cave while running from Saul.) God Most High, have pity on me! Have mercy. I run to you for safety. In the shadow of your wings, I seek protection till danger dies down.
57:2  I pray to you, my protector.
57:3  You will send help from heaven and save me, but you will bring trouble on my attackers. You are faithful, and you can be trusted.
57:4  My enemies are fierce, much worse than lions! They have spears and arrows instead of teeth, and they have sharp swords instead of tongues.
57:5  May you, my God, be honored above the heavens; may your glory be seen everywhere on earth.
57:6  Enemies set traps for my feet and struck me down. They dug a pit in my path, but fell in it themselves.
57:7  I am faithful to you, and you can trust me. I will sing and play music for you, my God.
57:8  I feel wide awake! I will wake up my harp and wake up the sun.
57:9  I will praise you, Lord, for everyone to hear, and I will sing hymns to you in every nation.
57:10  Your love reaches higher than the heavens; your loyalty extends beyond the clouds.
57:11  May you, my God, be honored above the heavens; may your glory be seen everywhere on earth.
