‏ Psalms 57

Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth

To the choirmaster: according to aDo Not Destroy. A bMiktam
Probably a musical or liturgical term
of David, when he fled from Saul, in dthe cave.

1 eBe merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul ftakes refuge;
in gthe shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
htill the storms of destruction pass by.
2I cry out to God Most High,
to God who ifulfills his purpose for me.
3 jHe will send from heaven and save me;
he will put to shame khim who tramples on me.  Selah
lGod will send out mhis steadfast love and his faithfulness!
4My soul is in the midst of nlions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose oteeth are spears and arrows,
whose ptongues are sharp swords.
5 qBe exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
6They set ra net for my steps;
my soul was sbowed down.
They tdug a pit in my way,
but they have fallen into it themselves.  Selah
7 uMy heart is vsteadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
8 wAwake, xmy glory!
Or  my whole being

Awake, zO harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
9I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10For your aasteadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 abBe exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
