| 57:1 | To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yes, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until calamities are overpast. | |
| 57:2 | I will cry to God most high; to God that performeth for me. | |
| 57:3 | He shall send from heaven, and save me the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. | |
| 57:4 | My soul among lions: I lie them that are set on fire, the sons of men, whose teeth spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. | |
| 57:5 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; thy glory above all the earth. | |
| 57:6 | They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst of which they have fallen . Selah. | |
| 57:7 | My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. | |
| 57:8 | Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early. | |
| 57:9 | I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations. | |
| 57:10 | For thy mercy great to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds. | |
| 57:11 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: thy glory above all the earth. | |
