< 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 chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yes, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities are overpast.
2 I call out to God Most High to God [who] avenges on me.
I will cry to God most high; to 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 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.
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: [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.
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, into the midst of which they have fallen [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 and give praise.
8 Awake! O honor my awake! O lyre and harp I will waken [the] dawn.
Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
9 I will give thanks to you among the peoples - O Lord I will sing praises to you not nations.
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations.
10 For [is] great to [the] heavens covenant loyalty your and to [the] clouds faithfulness your.
For thy mercy [is] great to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
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.
