Psalms 57

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. Set to "Do Not Destroy." By David, a mikhtam, when he fled from Sha'ul into the cave: Show me favor, God, show me favor; for in you I have taken refuge. Yes, I will find refuge in the shadow of your wings until the storms have passed.

2 I call to God, the Most High, to God, who is accomplishing his purpose for me.

3 He will send from heaven and save me when those who would trample me down mock me. (Selah) God will send his grace and his truth.

4 I am surrounded by lions, I am lying down among people breathing fire, men whose teeth are spears and arrows and their tongues sharp-edged swords.

5 Be exalted, God, above heaven! May your glory be over all the earth!

6 They prepared a snare for my feet, but I am bending over [to avoid it]. They dug a pit ahead of me, but they fell into it themselves. (Selah)

7 My heart is steadfast, God, steadfast. I will sing and make music.

8 Awake, my glory! Awake, lyre and lute! I will awaken the dawn.

9 I will thank you, Adonai, among the peoples; I will make music to you among the nations.

10 For your grace is great, all the way to heaven, and your truth, all the way to the skies.

11 Be exalted, God, above heaven! May your glory be over all the earth!

New International Version NIV

1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.

2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.

3 He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me—God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.

4 I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

6 They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.

7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.

10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
