- Kapitel 57 -

To you my soul takes refuge

(1 Samuel 22:1-5; Psalm 108:1-13; Psalm 142:1-7)
1
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
2
I cry out to God Most High,(a) to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
3
He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.
4
My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6
They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it!
7
Selah My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
8
Awake, my glory!(b) Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9
I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
10
For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
11
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover 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.

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.
