Psalms 57

1 For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saulto the cave. Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in you: and in theshadow of your wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
2 I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. Pause.
3 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;
4 and he has delivered my soul from the midst oflions'whelps: I lay down to sleep,though troubled.As for the sons of men, their teeth are arms andmissile weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
6 They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have duga pit before my face, and fallen into itthemselves. Pause.
7 My heart, O God,is ready, my heartis ready: I will sing, yes will sing psalms.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will awake early.
9 O Lord, I will give thanks to you among the nations: I will sing to you among theGentiles.
10 For your mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.
11 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
