Psalm 57

Let Your Glory Be Above All the Earth

For the choir director. ^{▼▼Lit Do Not Destroy}Al-tashheth. Of David. A ^{▼▼Possibly Epigrammatic Poem, Atonement Psalm}Mikhtam. ^{▼▼1 Sam 22:1; 24:3}When he fled from Saul in the cave.

1 Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,
For my soul takes refuge in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction passes by.
2 I will call to God Most High,
To God who accomplishes all things for me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches him who ^{▼▼Or snaps at}tramples upon me. ^{▼▼Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude}Selah.
God will send His lovingkindness and His ^{▼▼Or faithfulness}truth.
4 My soul is among lions;
I am lying down among those who breathe forth fire,
Sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
6 They have ^{▼▼Or spread}set a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They dug a pit before me;
They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
7 My heart is set, O God, my heart is set;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
8 Awake, my glory!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the ^{▼▼Lit peoples}nations.
10 For Your lovingkindness is great to the heavens
And Your ^{▼▼Or faithfulness}truth to the skies.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
