Psalms 57

Psalm 57^a

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.b When he had fled from Saul into the cave.

Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.

For the choir director: A psalma of David, regarding the time he fled from Saul and went into the cave. To be sung to the tune “Do Not Destroy!”

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy!
I look to you for protection.
I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings
until the danger passes by.

I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who vindicates me.

I cry out to God Most High,b
to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.

He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me — c
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.

He will send help from heaven to rescue me,
disgracing those who hound me.
Interlude
My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.

I am in the midst of lions;
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts —
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.

I am surrounded by fierce lions
who greedily devour human prey —
whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows,
and whose tongues cut like swords.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.

Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!
May your glory shine over all the earth.

They spread a net for my feet —
I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path —
but they have fallen into it themselves.

My enemies have set a trap for me.
I am weary from distress.
They have dug a deep pit in my path,
but they themselves have fallen into it.
Interlude

My heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.

My heart is confident in you, O God;
my heart is confident.
No wonder I can sing your praises!

Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

Wake up, my heart!
Wake up, O lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn with my song.

I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.

I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
I will sing your praises among the nations.

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.

Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
May your glory shine over all the earth.
