Psalm 57

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

[1] Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in thee my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of thy wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.
[2] I cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfils his purpose for me.
[3] He will send from heaven and save me,
he will put to shame those who trample upon me. [Selah]
God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness!
[4] I lie in the midst of lions
that greedily devour the sons of men;
their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongues sharp swords.
[5] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let thy glory be over all the earth!
[6] They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my way,
but they have fallen into it themselves. [Selah]
[7] My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
[8] Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
[9] I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
[10] For thy steadfast love is great to the heavens,
thy faithfulness to the clouds.
[11] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let thy glory be over all the earth!
