Psalm 57 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 57:1(LXX 56:1) For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave. (56:2) Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in thee: and in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
Psa 57:2(LXX 56:3) I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. Pause.
Psa 57:3(LXX 56:4) He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;
Psa 57:4(LXX 56:5) and he has delivered my soul from the midst of lions' whelps: I lay down to sleep, though troubled. As for the sons of men, their teeth are arms and missile weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Psa 57:5(LXX 56:6) Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
Psa 57:6(LXX 56:7) They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it themselves. Pause.
Psa 57:7(LXX 56:8) My heart, O God, is ready, my heart is ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.
Psa 57:8(LXX 56:9) Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.
Psa 57:9(LXX 56:10) O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles.
Psa 57:10(LXX 56:11) For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
Psa 57:11(LXX 56:12) Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
