Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 57

Chapter 57

1. For the conductor, al tashcheth, of David a michtam, when he fled from before Saul in the cave.		א.
2. Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, because my soul took refuge in You, and in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge until the destruction passes.		ב.
3. I will call upon the Most High God, upon the God Who completes [what He promised] for me.		ג.
4. He will send from Heaven and save me from the disgrace of him who yearns to swallow me up forever; God will send His kindness and His truth.		ד.
5. My soul is among lions; I lie among men who are aflame; their teeth are [like] spears and arrows, and their tongue is [like] a sharp sword.		ה.
6. Be exalted above the heavens, O God; over all the earth be Your glory.		ו.
7. They prepared a net for my steps, he bent down my soul; they dug a pit before me, they will fall into it forever.		ז.
8. My heart is steadfast with God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.		ח.
9. Awaken, my honor; awaken [me], lyre and harp; I will awaken the dawn.		ט.
10. I will thank You among the peoples, O Lord; I will sing Your praises among the kingdoms.		י.
11. For Your kindness is great up to the heavens, and Your truth is up to the skies.		יא.
12. Be exalted above the heavens, O God, over all the earth be Your glory.		יב.
