Psalms 57
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave.2 Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me, for in Thee hath my soul taken refuge; 3 I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.4 He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth; Selah 5 My soul is among lions, I do lie down among them that are aflame; 6 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
7 They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down; 8 My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.9 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.10 I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.11 For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies.
12 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
