Psalm 57
In You My Soul Takes Refuge
1For the one directing. To “Do not Destroy.” Of David. A Miktam in his fleeing from the face of Saul in the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me! For in You my soul takes refuge, and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until the calamities have passed by.
2I will call out to El-Elyon, to God, who fulfills for me.
3He sends forth from the heavens, and saves me; He rebukes the one panting after me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His faithfulness.
4My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down among flames—the sons of men, their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword.
5Be exalted above the heavens, O God, Your glory above all the earth!
6They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bent down; they have dug before me a pit—may they fall into its midst! Selah
7my heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
8Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre—I will awaken the dawn!
9I will confess You among the peoples, O Lord; I will make music to You among the nations.
10For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
11Be lifted high above the heavens, O God, and above all the earth Your glory!
