Chapter 57

1

 

  {To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.  

 

 


2

 

  I will call unto God, the Most High; unto łGod that performeth [all] for me.  

 

 


3

 

  He will send from the heavens and save me; he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. Selah. God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.  

 

 


4

 

  My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down [among] them that breathe out flames, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.  

 

 


5

 

  Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!  

 

 


6

 

  They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof. Selah.  

 

 


7

 

  My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms.  

 

 


8

 

  Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.  

 

 


9

 

  I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Lord; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:  

 

 


10

 

  For thy loving-kindness is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.  

 

 


11

 

  Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!
