Psalm 57 NKJV

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” 
A Michtam of David when he fled from Saul into the cave


Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! 
For my soul trusts in You; 
and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, 
until these calamities have passed by.

I will cry out to God Most High, 
to God who performs all things for me.

He shall send from heaven and save me; 
He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah 
God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

My soul is among lions; 
I lie among the sons of men who are set on fire, 
Whose teeth are spears and arrows, 
and their tongue a sharp sword.

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

They have prepared a net for my steps; 
my soul is bowed down; 
They have dug a pit before me; 
into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; 
I will sing and give praise.

Awake, my glory! 
Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.

I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; 
I will sing to You among the nations.

For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, 
and Your truth unto the clouds.

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