- Kapitel 57 -

To you my soul takes refuge

(1 Samuel 22:1-5; Psalm 108:1-13; Psalm 142:1-7)
1
TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF SAUL INTO A CAVE. Favor me, O God, favor me, || For my soul is trusting in You, || And I trust in the shadow of Your wings, || Until the calamities pass over.
2
I call to God Most High, || To God [who] is perfecting for me.
3
He sends from the heavens, and saves me, || He reproached [the one] who is panting after me. Selah. God sends forth His kindness and His truth.
4
My soul [is] in the midst of lions, || I lie down [among] flames—sons of men, || Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, || And their tongue a sharp sword.
5
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, || Your glory above all the earth.
6
They have prepared a net for my steps, || My soul has bowed down, || They have dug a pit before me, || They have fallen into its midst. Selah.
7
My heart is prepared, O God, || My heart is prepared, || I sing and praise.
8
Awake, my glory, awake, stringed instrument and harp, || I awake the morning dawn.
9
I thank You among the peoples, O Lord, || I praise You among the nations.
10
For Your kindness [is] great to the heavens, || And Your truth to the clouds.
11
Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Your glory above all the earth!

To you my soul takes refuge

(1 Samuel 22:1-5; Psalm 108:1-13; Psalm 142:1-7)
1
Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
2
I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3
He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
4
My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5
Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
6
They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah.
7
My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8
Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
9
I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10
For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
11
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
