57:1 For the leader. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” By David, a mikhtam, when he fled from Sha’ul into the cave:
57:2 Show me favor, God, show me favor; for in you I have taken refuge. Yes, I will find refuge in the shadow of your wings until the storms have passed.
57:3 I call to God, the Most High, to God, who is accomplishing his purpose for me.
57:4 He will send from heaven and save me when those who would trample me down mock me. (Selah) God will send his grace and his truth.
57:5 I am surrounded by lions, I am lying down among people breathing fire, men whose teeth are spears and arrows and their tongues sharp-edged swords.
57:6 Be exalted, God, above heaven! May your glory be over all the earth!
57:7 They prepared a snare for my feet, but I am bending over [to avoid it]. They dug a pit ahead of me, but they fell into it themselves. (Selah)
57:8 My heart is steadfast, God, steadfast. I will sing and make music.
57:9 Awake, my glory! Awake, lyre and lute! I will awaken the dawn.
57:10 I will thank you, Adonai, among the peoples; I will make music to you among the nations.
57:11 For your grace is great, all the way to heaven, and your truth, all the way to the skies.
57:12 Be exalted, God, above heaven! May your glory be over all the earth!
