Psalm 57

To the leader: Do Not Destroy. Of David. A Miktam, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,

for in you my soul takes refuge;

in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,

until the destroying storms pass by.

2 I cry to God Most High,

to God who fulfills his purpose for me.

3 He will send from heaven and save me,

he will put to shame those who trample on me. Selah

God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness.

4 I lie down among lions

that greedily devour human prey;

their teeth are spears and arrows,

their tongues sharp swords.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.

Let your 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 path,

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 you, O Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

10 For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;

your faithfulness extends to the clouds.

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.

Let your glory be over all the earth.
