Psalms 57
1 To the choirmaster al-tashcheth of David a miktam when fled he from before Saul in the cave. Show favor to me O God - show favor to me for in you it takes refuge self my and in [the] shadow of wings your I take refuge until it will pass by destruction.
For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; For my soul taketh refuge in thee: Yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, Until [these] calamities be overpast.
2 I call out to God Most High to God [who] avenges on me.
I will cry unto God Most High, Unto God that performeth [all things] for me.
3 He will send from heaven - and he will save me he will reproach [one who] crushes me (Selah) he will send God covenant loyalty his and faithfulness his.
He will send from heaven, and save me, [When] he that would swallow me up reproacheth; (Selah) God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth.
4 Self my - in among lions I lie with [those that] devour [the] children of humankind teeth their [are] a spear and arrows and tongue their [is] a sword sharp.
My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be exalted! above the heavens O God [be] over all the earth glory your.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
6 A net - they prepared for feet my it bent down self my they dug before me a pit they have fallen in [the] midst of it (Selah)
They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down: They have digged a pit before me; They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. (Selah)
7 [is] steadfast Heart my O God [is] steadfast heart my I will sing and I will sing praises.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
8 Awake! O honor my awake! O lyre and harp I will waken [the] dawn.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

For thy lovingkindness is great unto the heavens, And thy truth unto the skies.
11 Be exalted! above [the] heavens O God [be] over all the earth glory your.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
