Psalms

CH. 57

	1	To the Chief Musician. Set to 'Do Not Destroy.' A Michtam of David when he fled from Saul into the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, Until these calamities have passed by.
	2	I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.
	3	He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
	4	My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
	5	Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
	6	They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
	7	My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.
	8	Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
	9	I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations.
	10	For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds.
	11	Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
