Psalms 57

¹ Be gracious to me, O Elohim, be gracious to me; For in You my soul takes refuge, And in the shadow of Your wings shall I take refuge Until the woes pass away. ² I am calling to Elohim Supreme, To El Who is perfecting for me. ³ He shall send from the heavens and save me; He will reproach the one gasping after me; Elohim shall send His benignity and His faithfulness. ⁴ My soul is in the midst of parent-lions; Let me confidently lie among flaming foes, even sons of humanity; Their teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword. ⁵ O be exalted over the heavens, O Elohim; Let Your glory be over the entire earth! ⁶ They have prepared a net for my footsteps; My soul is bent down; They have dug a pit before me, Yet they have fallen into its midst. ⁷ My heart is established, O Elohim, my heart is established; I will sing and make melody. ⁸ Do rouse, O my glory; Do rouse, O zither and harp. I will rouse the dawn. ⁹ I shall acclaim You among the peoples, O Yahweh; I shall make melody among the national groups. ¹⁰ For Your benignity is great unto the heavens, And Your faithfulness unto the skies. ¹¹ O be exalted over the heavens, O Elohim, Let Your glory be over the entire earth!
