To the director; set to “Do Not Bring to Ruin.” Of David. Mikʹtam.* When he ran away from Saul into the cave.

57 Show me favor, O God, show me favor,

For I take* refuge in you,

And in the shadow of your wings I take refuge until the troubles pass.

2 I call to God the Most High,

To the true God, who brings them to an end for me.

3 He will send help from heaven and save me.

He will frustrate the one snapping at me. (Selah)

God will send his loyal love and his faithfulness.

4 I am* surrounded by lions;

I must lie among men who want to devour me,

Whose teeth are spears and arrows

And whose tongue is a sharp sword.

5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God;

May your glory be over all the earth.

6 They have prepared a net to ensnare my feet;

I am* bowed down with distress.

They have dug a pit ahead of me,

But they fell into it themselves. (Selah)

7 My heart is steadfast, O God,

My heart is steadfast.

I will sing and make music.

8 Do awake, my glory.

Do awake, O stringed instrument; you too, O harp.

I will awaken the dawn.

9 I will praise you among the peoples, O Jehovah;

I will sing praises* to you among the nations.

10 For your loyal love is great, as high as the heavens,

And your faithfulness, up to the skies.

11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God;

May your glory be over all the earth.
