(NIV 11)
Psalms 57
Ready to read
1
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[102] When he had fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.
2
I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.
3
He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[103] God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
4
I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6
They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.
7
My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
8
Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9
I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
10
For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
