Psalms 57:1-6

1 (56-1) <Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave.> (56-2) Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
2 (56-3) I will cry to God the most high; to God who hath done good to me.
3 (56-4) He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth,
4 (56-5) And he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 (56-6) Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
6 (56-7) They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
