PSALM 57

Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors.

For the music director; set to [fn]Al-tashheth. A [fn]Mikhtam of David, [fn]when he fled from Saul in the cave.

1 Be 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.

2 I will cry to God Most High,

To God who accomplishes all things for me.

3 He will send from heaven and save me;

He rebukes the one who [fn]tramples upon me. Selah

God will send His [fn]favor and His truth.

4 My 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.

5 Be exalted above the heavens, God;

May Your glory be above all the earth.

6 They 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

7 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

8 Awake, my glory!

Awake, harp and lyre!

I will awaken the dawn.

9 I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to You among the [fn]nations.

10 For Your goodness is great to the heavens

And Your [fn]truth to the clouds.

11 Be exalted above the heavens, God;

May Your glory be above all the earth.
