57 ‎(1) For the leader; *al tashḥeth*. Of David. A *michtam*; when he fled from Saul into a cave.
‎(2) Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for I seek refuge in You,
I seek refuge in the shadow of Your wings,
until danger passes. ‎(3) I call to God Most High,
to God who is good to me. ‎(4) He will reach down from heaven and deliver me:
God will send down His steadfast love;
my persecutor reviles. *Selah*.
‎(5) As for me, I lie down among man-eating lions
whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongue is a sharp sword. ‎(6) Exalt Yourself over the heavens, O God,
let Your glory be over all the earth! ‎(7) They prepared a net for my feet to ensnare me;
they dug a pit for me,
but they fell into it. *Selah*.
‎(8) My heart is firm, O God;
my heart is firm;
I will sing, I will chant a hymn. ‎(9) Awake, O my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will wake the dawn. ‎(10) I will praise You among the peoples, O Lord;
I will sing a hymn to You among the nations; ‎(11) for Your faithfulness is as high as heaven;
Your steadfastness reaches to the sky. ‎(12) Exalt Yourself over the heavens, O God,
let Your glory be over all the earth!
