Psalm 57 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors.

(cf. Psa 108:1–5 )

To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “Do Not Destroy.” A Mikhtam of David. [A record of memorable thoughts of David] when he fled from Saul in the cave.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me,

For my soul finds shelter and safety in You,

And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure

Until destruction passes by.

Psa 57:2

I will cry to God Most High,

Who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan].

Psa 57:3

He will send from heaven and save me;

He calls to account him who tramples me down. Selah.

God will send out His lovingkindness and His truth.

Psa 57:4

My life is among lions;

I must lie among those who breathe out fire—

The sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows,

And their tongue a sharp sword.

Psa 57:5

Be exalted above the heavens, O God;

Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth.

Psa 57:6

They [fn]set a net for my steps;

My very life was bowed down.

They dug a pit before me;

Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah.

Psa 57:7

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast and confident!

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises [to You]!

Psa 57:8

Awake, my glory!

Awake, harp and lyre!

I will awaken the dawn.

Psa 57:9

I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the people;

I will sing praises to You among the nations.

Psa 57:10

For Your faithfulness and lovingkindness are great, reaching to the heavens,

And Your truth to the clouds.

Psa 57:11

Be exalted above the heavens, O God;

Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth.
