57:1 For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A miktam of David when he escaped from Saul in a cave. Be merciful to me, God. Be merciful to me because I come to you for protection. I will come to you as a bird comes for protection under its mother’s wings until the trouble has passed.
57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to the God who does everything for me.
57:3 He sends help from heaven and saves me. He punishes those who attack me. Selah God sends me his love and truth.
57:4 Enemies are like lions all around me. I must lie down among them. Their teeth are like spears and arrows. Their tongues are as sharp as swords.
57:5 God is supreme over the skies. His greatness covers the earth.
57:6 They set a trap for me. I am very worried. They dug a pit in my path. But they fell into it themselves. Selah
57:7 My heart is right, God. My heart is right. I will sing and praise you.
57:8 Wake up, my soul. Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
57:9 Lord, I will praise you among the nations. I will sing songs of praise about you to all the nations.
57:10 Your love is so great it reaches to the skies. Your truth reaches to the clouds.
57:11 God, you are supreme over the skies. Let your glory be over all the earth.
