57:1 To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “Do Not Destroy.” A Mikhtam of David. [A record of memorable thoughts of David] when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me, For my soul finds shelter and safety in You, And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure Until destruction passes by.
57:2 I will cry to God Most High, Who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan].
57:3 He will send from heaven and save me; He calls to account him who tramples me down. Selah. God will send out His lovingkindness and His truth.
57:4 My life is among lions; I must lie among those who breathe out fire— The sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
57:5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth.
57:6 They set a net for my steps; My very life was bowed down. They dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah.
57:7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast and confident! I will sing, yes, I will sing praises [to You]!
57:8 Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
57:9 I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praises to You among the nations.
57:10 For Your faithfulness and lovingkindness are great, reaching to the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
57:11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth.
