(cf. Psa 108:1–5 )

Psa 57:1

For the choir director. [fn]Al-tashheth. Of David. A [fn]Mikhtam. [fn]When he fled from Saul in the cave.

Be^H2603 gracious^H2603 to me, O God^H430, be^H2603 gracious^H2603 to me,

For my soul^H5315 takes^H2620 refuge^H2620 in You;

And in the shadow^H6738 of Your wings^H3671 I will take^H2620 refuge^H2620

Until^H5704 destruction^H1942 passes^H5674 by^H5674.

Psa 57:2

I will call^H7121 to God^H430 Most^H5945 High^H5945,

To God^H410 who accomplishes^H1584 all things for me.

Psa 57:3

He will send^H7971 from heaven^H8064 and save^H3467 me;

He reproaches^H2778 him who [fn]tramples^H7602 upon me. [fn]Selah^H5542.

God^H430 will send^H7971 His lovingkindness^H2617 and His [fn]truth^H571.

Psa 57:4

My soul^H5315 is among^H8432 lions^H3833;

I am lying^H7901 down^H7901 among those who breathe^H3857 forth^H3857 fire^H3857,

Sons^H1121 of men^H120 whose teeth^H8127 are spears^H2595 and arrows^H2671

And their tongue^H3956 a sharp^H2299 sword^H2719.

Psa 57:5

Be exalted^H7311 above^H5921 the heavens^H8064, O God^H430;

Let Your glory^H3519 be above^H5921 all^H3605 the earth^H776.

Psa 57:6

They have [fn]set^H3559 a net^H7568 for my steps^H6471;

My soul^H5315 is bowed^H3721 down^H3721;

They dug^H3738 a pit^H7882 before^H6440 me;

They themselves have fallen^H5307 into the midst^H8432 of it. Selah^H5542.

Psa 57:7

My heart^H3820 is set^H3559, O God^H430, my heart^H3820 is set^H3559;

I will sing^H7891, yes, I will sing^H2167 praises^H2167!

Psa 57:8

Awake^H5782, my glory^H3519!

Awake^H5782, harp^H5035 and lyre^H3658!

I will awaken^H5782 the dawn^H7837.

Psa 57:9

I will give^H3034 thanks^H3034 to You, O Lord^H136, among the peoples^H5971;

I will sing^H2167 praises^H2167 to You among the [fn]nations^H3816.

Psa 57:10

For Your lovingkindness^H2617 is great^H1419 to the heavens^H8064

And Your [fn]truth^H571 to the skies^H7834.

Psa 57:11

Be exalted^H7311 above^H5921 the heavens^H8064, O God^H430;

Let Your glory^H3519 be above^H5921 all^H3605 the earth^H776.
