The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 57

 

 

1.

 

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.

    
 
 

2.

 

I will call unto God, the Most High; unto ùGod that performeth [all] for me.

    
 
 

3.

 

He will send from the heavens and save me; he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. Selah. God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.

    
 
 

4.

 

My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down [among] them that breathe out flames, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

    
 
 

5.

 

Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!

    
 
 

6.

 

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof. Selah.

    
 
 

7.

 

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms.

    
 
 

8.

 

Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.

    
 
 

9.

 

I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Lord; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:

    
 
 

10.

 

For thy loving-kindness is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

    
 
 

11.

 

Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!
