NASB Bible

Psalms 57

For the choir director; set to  aAl-tashheth. A  bMikhtam of David,  cwhen he fled from Saul in the cave.

1

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, For my soul  atakes refuge in You; And in the  bshadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction  cpasses by.

2

I will cry to God Most High, To God who  aaccomplishes all things for me.

3

He will  asend from heaven and save me; He reproaches him who  1 btramples upon me.  2Selah. God will send forth His  clovingkindness and His  3truth.

4

My soul is among  alions; I must lie among those who breathe forth fire, Even the sons of men, whose  bteeth are spears and arrows And their  ctongue a sharp sword.

5

 aBe exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory be above all the earth.

6

They have  1prepared a  anet for my steps; My soul is  bbowed down; They  cdug a pit before me; They themselves have  dfallen into the midst of it. Selah.

7

 aMy  bheart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

8

Awake,  amy glory! Awake,  bharp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

9

 aI will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the  1nations.

10

For Your  alovingkindness is great to the heavens And Your  1truth to the clouds.

11

 aBe exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
