Psalm 57 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 57:1To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over.
Psa 57:2I call to God Most High, To God who is perfecting for me.
Psa 57:3He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached -- who is panting after me. Selah. God sendeth forth His kindness and His truth.
Psa 57:4My soul is in the midst of lions, I lie down among flames -- sons of men, Their teeth are a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Psa 57:5Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth Thine honour.
Psa 57:6A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.
Psa 57:7Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise.
Psa 57:8Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
Psa 57:9I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations.
Psa 57:10For great unto the heavens is Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
Psa 57:11Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God. Above all the earth Thine honour!
