‏ Psalms 57

Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors.

For the choir director; set to ▼
▼ Lit Do Not Destroy
Al-tashheth. A ▼
▼ Possibly, Epigrammatic Poem or Atonement Psalm
Mikhtam of David, ▼
▼ 1 Sam 22:1; 24:3
when he fled from Saul in the cave.

1 Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,
For my soul dtakes refuge in You;
And in the eshadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction fpasses by.
 2I will cry to God Most High,
To God who gaccomplishes all things for me.
 3He will hsend from heaven and save me;
He reproaches him who ▼
▼ Or snaps at
 , jtramples upon me. ▼
▼ Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude
Selah.
God will send forth His llovingkindness and His ▼
▼ Or faithfulness
truth.

 4My soul is among nlions;
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even the sons of men, whose oteeth are spears and arrows
And their ptongue a sharp sword.
 5 qBe exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
 6They have ▼
▼ Or spread
prepared a snet for my steps;
My soul is tbowed down;
They udug a pit before me;
They themselves have vfallen into the midst of it. Selah.

 7 wMy xheart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
 8Awake, ymy glory!
Awake, zharp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
 9 aaI will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the ▼
▼ Lit peoples
nations.
 10For Your aclovingkindness is great to the heavens
And Your ▼
▼ Or faithfulness
truth to the clouds.
 11 aeBe exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
