57
For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave.
1 Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me,
for I take refuge in you until these troubles are over.
I stay under your wings for protection until this destruction is over.
2 I will cry to God Most High,
to God, who does all things for me.
3 He will send help from heaven and save me,
he is angry with those who crush me.
Selah
God will send me his loving kindness and his faithfulness.
4 My life is among lions;
I am among those who are ready to devour me.
I am among people whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens;
let your glory be above all the earth.
6 They spread out a net for my feet;
I was distressed.
They dug a pit in front of me.
They themselves have fallen into the middle of it!
Selah
7 My heart is fixed, God, my heart is fixed;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8 Wake up, my honored heart; wake up, lute and harp;
I will wake up the dawn.
9 I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For great is your unfailing love, reaching to the heavens;
and your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens;
may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
