Psalms57NASB2020
Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors.
For the music director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me, For my soul takes refuge in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction passes by.2I will cry to God Most High, To God who accomplishes all things for me.3He will send from heaven and save me; He rebukes the one who tramples upon me. Selah God will send His favor and His truth. 4My soul is among lions;I must lie among those who devour,
Among sons of mankind whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue is a sharp sword.5Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth.6They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah 7My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!8Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.9I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations.10For Your goodness is great to the heavens And Your truth to the clouds.11Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth.
