57:1 For the music director, “Do Not Destroy,” a Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.
57:2 Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I take refuge, until destruction passes by.
57:3 I will cry out to El Elyon, to God who accomplishes it for me.
57:4 He will send from heaven and save me. He rebukes the one trampling on me. Selah God is sending His mercy and His truth.
57:5 My soul is in the midst of lions. I lie among those breathing fire— sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongue is a sharp sword.
57:6 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let Your glory be over all the earth!
57:7 They spread a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me— they fell into it themselves. Selah
57:8 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will make music.
57:9 Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
57:10 I will praise You, my Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to You among the nations.
57:11 For Your lovingkindness is great up to the heavens, and Your truth to the skies.
57:12 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let Your glory be over all the earth!
