Chapter 57

1


 

  To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. Michtam. Of David. When he went in flight from Saul, in the hole of the rock.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me; for the hope of my soul is in you: I will keep myself safely under the shade of your wings, till these troubles are past.  

 

 

--

2


 

  I will send up my cry to the Most High God; to God who does all things for me.  

 

 

--

3


 

  He will send from heaven, and take me from the power of him whose desire is for my destruction. God will send out his mercy and his good faith.  

 

 

--

4


 

  My soul is among lions; I am stretched out among those who are on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongue is a sharp sword.  

 

 

--

5


 

  O God, be lifted up higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.  

 

 

--

6


 

  They have made ready a net for my steps; my soul is bent down; they have made a great hole before me, and have gone down into it themselves. (Selah.)  

 

 

--

7


 

  My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs, and give praise.  

 

 

--

8


 

  You are my glory; let the instruments of music be awake; I myself will be awake with the dawn.  

 

 

--

9


 

  I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make songs to you among the nations.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For your mercy is great, stretching up to the heavens, and your righteousness goes up to the clouds.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth.
