Psalms

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

For in you my soul has taken refuge;+

And in the shadow of your wings I take refuge until the adversities pass over.+

 3 He will send from heaven and save me.+

He will certainly confuse the one snapping at me.+ Seʹlah.

God will send his loving-kindness* and his trueness.*+

 4 My soul is in the middle of lions;+

I cannot but lie down among devourers, [even] the sons of men,*

Whose teeth are spears and arrows,+

And whose tongue is a sharp sword.+

 5 O be exalted above the heavens, O God;+

Let your glory be above all the earth.+

 6 A net they have prepared for my steps;+

My soul has become bowed down.+

They excavated before me a pitfall;

They have fallen into the midst of it.+ Seʹlah.

 7 My heart is steadfast, O God,+

My heart is steadfast.

I will sing and make melody.+

 8 Do awake, O my glory;+

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

I will awaken the dawn.

 9 I shall laud you among the peoples, O Jehovah;*+

I shall make melody to you among the national groups.+

10 For your loving-kindness* is great up to the heavens,+

And your trueness* up to the skies.+

11 Do be exalted above the heavens, O God;+

Let your glory be above all the earth.
