Psalm
Psalm, 57
To the director; set to “Do Not Bring to Ruin.” Of David. Mikʹtam.*1 When he ran away from Saul into the cave.
1 Show me favor, O God, show me favor, For I take*1 refuge in you, And in the shadow of your wings I take refuge until the troubles pass.
|
2 I call to God the Most High, To the true God, who brings them to an end for me.
3 He will send help from heaven and save me. He will frustrate the one snapping at me. (Selah) God will send his loyal love and his faithfulness.
4 I am*1 surrounded by lions; I must lie among men who want to devour me, Whose teeth are spears and arrows And whose tongue is a sharp sword.
|
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; May your glory be over all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net to ensnare my feet; I am*1 bowed down with distress. They have dug a pit ahead of me, But they fell into it themselves. (Selah)
|
7 My heart is steadfast, O God, My heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
8 Do awake, my glory. Do awake, O stringed instrument; you too, O harp. I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you among the peoples, O Jehovah; I will sing praises*1 to you among the nations.
|
10 For your loyal love is great, as high as the heavens, And your faithfulness, up to the skies.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; May your glory be over all the earth.
