WEB Psalms 57 Chapter
57:1
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.
57:2
I will cry to God most high; to God that performeth [all things] for me.
57:3
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.
57:4
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.
57:5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
57:6
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.
57:7
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
57:8
Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations.
57:10
For thy mercy [is] great to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
57:11
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
