Psalms 57:1-11
To the director; set to “Do Not Bring to Ruin.” Of David. Mikʹtam.* When he ran away from Saul into the cave.+
57 Show me favor, O God, show me favor,For I take* 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* surrounded by lions;+I must lie among men who want to devour me,Whose teeth are spears and arrowsAnd 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* 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* 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.+
