1לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ אַל־תַּ֭שְׁחֵת לְדָוִ֣ד מִכְתָּ֑ם בְּבָרְחֹ֥ו מִפְּנֵי־שָׁ֝א֗וּל בַּמְּעָרֽ͏ָה׃
1(57-1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. (57-2) Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me, for in Thee hath my soul taken refuge; yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I take refuge, until calamities be overpast.
2חָנֵּ֤נִי אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ חָנֵּ֗נִי כִּ֥י בְךָ֮ חָסָ֪יָה נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י וּבְצֵֽל־כְּנָפֶ֥יךָ אֶחְסֶ֑ה עַ֝֗ד יַעֲבֹ֥ר הַוֹּֽות׃
2(57-3) I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.
3אֶ֭קְרָא לֵֽאלֹהִ֣ים עֶלְיֹ֑ון לָ֝אֵ֗ל גֹּמֵ֥ר עָלָֽי׃
3(57-4) He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth; Selah; God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
4יִשְׁלַ֤ח מִשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ וְֽיֹושִׁיעֵ֗נִי חֵרֵ֣ף שֹׁאֲפִ֣י סֶ֑לָה יִשְׁלַ֥ח אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים חַסְדֹּ֥ו וַאֲמִתֹּֽו׃
4(57-5) My soul is among lions, I do lie down among them that are aflame; even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5נַפְשִׁ֤י ׀ בְּתֹ֥וךְ לְבָאִם֮ אֶשְׁכְּבָ֪ה לֹ֫הֲטִ֥ים בְּֽנֵי־אָדָ֗ם שִׁ֭נֵּיהֶם חֲנִ֣ית וְחִצִּ֑ים וּ֝לְשֹׁונָ֗ם חֶ֣רֶב חַדָּֽה׃
5(57-6) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
6ר֣וּמָה עַל־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם אֱלֹהִ֑ים עַ֖ל כָּל־הָאָ֣רֶץ כְּבֹודֶֽךָ׃
6(57-7) They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down; they have digged a pit before me, they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah
7רֶ֤שֶׁת ׀ הֵכִ֣ינוּ לִפְעָמַי֮ כָּפַ֪ף נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י כָּר֣וּ לְפָנַ֣י שִׁיחָ֑ה נָפְל֖וּ בְתֹוכָ֣הּ סֶֽלָה׃
7(57-8) My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
8נָ֘כֹ֤ון לִבִּ֣י אֱ֭לֹהִים נָכֹ֣ון לִבִּ֑י אָ֝שִׁ֗ירָה וַאֲזַמֵּֽרָה׃
8(57-9) Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
9ע֤וּרָה כְבֹודִ֗י ע֭וּרָֽה הַנֵּ֥בֶל וְכִנֹּ֗ור אָעִ֥ירָה שָּֽׁחַר׃
9(57-10) I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
10אֹודְךָ֖ בָעַמִּ֥ים ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑י אֲ֝זַמֶּרְךָ֗ בַּל־אֻמִּֽים׃
10(57-11) For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies.
11כִּֽי־גָדֹ֣ל עַד־שָׁמַ֣יִם חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְֽעַד־שְׁחָקִ֥ים אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃
11(57-12) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
