57:1 For the choir director; al tashcheth; a miktam by David when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have pity on me, O Elohim. Have pity on me, because my soul takes refuge in you. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until destructive storms pass by.
57:2 I call to Elohim Elyon, to El who does everything for me.
57:3 He sends his help from heaven and saves me. He disgraces the one who is harassing me. Selah Elohim sends his mercy and his truth!
57:4 My soul is surrounded by lions. I must lie down with man-eating lions. Their teeth are spears and arrows. Their tongues are sharp swords.
57:5 May you be honored above the heavens, O Elohim. Let your glory extend over the whole earth.
57:6 My enemies spread out a net to catch me. (My soul is bowed down.) They dug a pit to trap me, but then they fell into it. Selah
57:7 My heart is confident, O Elohim. My heart is confident. I want to sing and make music.
57:8 Wake up, my soul! Wake up, harp and lyre! I want to wake up at dawn.
57:9 I want to give thanks to you among the people, O Adonay. I want to make music to praise you among the nations
57:10 because your mercy is as high as the heavens. Your truth reaches the skies.
57:11 May you be honored above the heavens, O Elohim. Let your glory extend over the whole earth.
