PS-57:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David,

when he fled from

Saul in the cave. 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.

PS-57:2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth

[all things]

for me.

PS-57:3 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.

PS-57:4 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.

PS-57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy

glory [be] above

all the earth.

PS-57:6 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.

PS-57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing

and give

praise.

PS-57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself]

will awake

early.

PS-57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will

sing unto thee

among the nations.

PS-57:10 For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy

truth unto the

clouds.

PS-57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy

glory [be] above

all the earth.
