תהילים נ״זPsalms 57

For the leader; al tashḥeth. Meaning of Heb. uncertain. Of David. A michtam; when he fled from Saul into a cave.

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for I seek refuge in You,
I seek refuge in the shadow of Your wings,
until danger passes.

I call to God Most High,
to God who is good to me,

who will reach down from heaven and deliver me—
sending down steadfast love;
my persecutor reviles. Selah.

As for me, I lie down among lions who devour humans—
whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongue is a sharp sword.

Exalt Yourself over the heavens, O God,
let Your glory be over all the earth!

They prepared a net for my feet to ensnare me;, a wicker basket used in fishing.
they dug a pit for me,
but they fell into it. Selah.

My heart is firm, O God;
my heart is firm;
I will sing, I will chant a hymn.

Awake, O my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will wake the dawn.

I will praise You among the peoples, O my Sovereign;
I will sing a hymn to You among the nations—

for Your faithfulness is as high as heaven;
Your steadfastness reaches to the sky.

Exalt Yourself over the heavens, O God,
let Your glory be over all the earth!
