Psalm 57

English Standard Version

​

Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

57 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
   for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
   till the storms of destruction pass by.
2 I cry out to God Most High,
   to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me;
   he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah
God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

4 My soul is in the midst of lions;
   I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, 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 set a net for my steps;
   my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my way,
   but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
7 My heart is steadfast, O God,
   my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
8     Awake, my glory!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
   I will awake the dawn!
9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
   I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
   your faithfulness to the clouds.

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
   Let your glory be over all the earth!
