Psalms 57
1 “To the chief musician, Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.” Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for in thee my soul seeketh protection, and under the shadow of thy wings will I seek protection, until the mischief be passed away.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּם בְּבׇרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי־שָׁאוּל בַּמְּעָרָֽה׃ חׇנֵּנִי אֱלֹהִים ׀ חׇנֵּנִי כִּי בְךָ חָסָיָה נַפְשִׁי וּבְצֵֽל־כְּנָפֶיךָ אֶחְסֶה עַד יַעֲבֹר הַוּֽוֹת׃ |
2 I will call unto God, the Most High; unto God that accomplisheth [his kindness] on me.
| אֶקְרָא לֵֽאלֹהִים עֶלְיוֹן לָאֵל גֹּמֵר עָלָֽי׃ |
3 He will send from heaven, and save me, though he that longeth to swallow me up utter reproach. (Selah) God will send forth his kindness and his truth.
| יִשְׁלַח מִשָּׁמַיִם ׀ וְֽיוֹשִׁיעֵנִי חֵרֵף שֹׁאֲפִי סֶלָה יִשְׁלַח אֱלֹהִים חַסְדּוֹ וַאֲמִתּֽוֹ׃ |
4 My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down [in the midst of] those that send out flames, [those] sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongue is a sharpened sword.
| נַפְשִׁי ׀ בְּתוֹךְ לְבָאִם אֶשְׁכְּבָה לֹהֲטִים בְּֽנֵי־אָדָם שִׁנֵּיהֶם חֲנִית וְחִצִּים וּלְשׁוֹנָם חֶרֶב חַדָּֽה׃ |
5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God: above all the earth let thy glory be.
| רוּמָה עַל־הַשָּׁמַיִם אֱלֹהִים עַל כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃ |
6 A net have they prepared for my steps; my soul hath been bent down; they have dug before me a pit; they are fallen into the midst thereof. (Selah)
| רֶשֶׁת ׀ הֵכִינוּ לִפְעָמַי כָּפַף נַפְשִׁי כָּרוּ לְפָנַי שִׁיחָה נָפְלוּ בְתוֹכָהּ סֶֽלָה׃ |
7 Firm is my heart, O God, firm is my heart: I will sing and play.
| נָכוֹן לִבִּי אֱלֹהִים נָכוֹן לִבִּי אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמֵּֽרָה׃ |
8 Awake, my spirit; awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.
| עוּרָה כְבוֹדִי עוּרָֽה הַנֵּבֶל וְכִנּוֹר אָעִירָה שָּֽׁחַר׃ |
9 I will thank thee among the people, O Lord: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
| אוֹדְךָ בָעַמִּים ׀ אֲדֹנָי אֲזַמֶּרְךָ בַּלְאֻמִּֽים׃ |
10 For great, even unto the heavens, is thy kindness, and even unto the skies [extendeth] thy truth.
| כִּֽי־גָדֹל עַד־שָׁמַיִם חַסְדֶּךָ וְֽעַד־שְׁחָקִים אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ |
11 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God: above all the earth let thy glory be.
| רוּמָה עַל־שָׁמַיִם אֱלֹהִים עַל כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃ |
