< 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.
TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF SAUL INTO A CAVE. Favor me, O God, favor me, For my soul is trusting in You, And I trust in the shadow of Your wings, Until the calamities pass over.
2 I call out to God Most High to God [who] avenges on me.
I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting 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 sends from the heavens, and saves me, He reproached [the one] who is panting after me. (Selah) God sends forth His kindness 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] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames—sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be exalted! above the heavens O God [be] over all the earth glory your.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, Your glory 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 has bowed down, They have dug a pit before me, They have fallen into its midst. (Selah)
7 [is] steadfast Heart my O God [is] steadfast heart my I will sing and I will sing praises.
My heart is prepared, O God, My heart is prepared, I sing and praise.
8 Awake! O honor my awake! O lyre and harp I will waken [the] dawn.
Awake, my glory, awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
9 I will give thanks to you among the peoples - O Lord I will sing praises to you not nations.
I thank You among the peoples, O Lord, I praise You among the nations.
10 For [is] great to [the] heavens covenant loyalty your and to [the] clouds faithfulness your.
For Your kindness [is] great to the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
11 Be exalted! above [the] heavens O God [be] over all the earth glory your.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Your glory above all the earth!
