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.
1Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
2(57-3) I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.
2I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
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.
3He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.
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.
4My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5(57-6) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
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
6They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah
7(57-8) My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
7My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
8(57-9) Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
8Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9(57-10) I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
9I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
10(57-11) For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies.
10For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
11(57-12) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
