Psalms
Chapter 57
1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. To the chief Musician, Al–taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
