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.

57:2 I will send up my cry to the Most High God; to God who does all things for me.

57:3 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.

57:4 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.

57:5 O God, be lifted up higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

57:6 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.)

57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs, and give praise.

57:8 You are my glory; let the instruments of music be awake; I myself will be awake with the dawn.

57:9 I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make songs to you among the nations.

57:10 For your mercy is great, stretching up to the heavens, and your righteousness goes up to the clouds.

57:11 Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth.
