Psalm 57
Let Your Glory Be Above All the Earth
For the choir director. ▼▼Lit Do Not DestroyAl-tashheth. Of David. A ▼▼Possibly Epigrammatic Poem, Atonement PsalmMikhtam. ▼▼1 Sam 22:1; 24:3When he fled from Saul in the cave.
1Be gracious to me, O 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 call to God Most High,
To God who accomplishes all things for me.
3He will send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches him who ▼
▼Or snaps at
tramples upon me. ▼▼Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude
Selah.God will send His lovingkindness and His ▼
▼Or faithfulness
truth.4My soul is among lions;
I am lying down among those who breathe forth fire,
Sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.
5Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
6They have ▼
▼Or spread
set 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 set, O God, my heart is set;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
8Awake, my glory!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the ▼
▼Lit peoples
nations.10For Your lovingkindness is great to the heavens
And Your ▼
▼Or faithfulness
truth to the skies.11Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
