ULT PSA Chapter 57

For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

57 Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me,

for I take refuge in you until these troubles are over.

I stay under your wings for protection until this destruction is over.

2 I will cry to God Most High,

to God, who does all things for me.

3 He will send help from heaven and save me,

he is angry with those who crush me. Selah will send me his loving kindness and his faithfulness.

4 My life is among lions;

I am among those who are ready to devour me.

I am among people whose teeth are spears and arrows,

and whose tongues are sharp swords.

5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens;

let your glory be above all the earth.

6 They spread out a net for my feet;

I was distressed.

They dug a pit in front of me.

They themselves have fallen into the middle of it! Selah

7 My heart is fixed, God, my heart is fixed;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.

8 Wake up, my honored heart; 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 great is your unfailing love, reaching to the heavens;

and your faithfulness to the clouds.

11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens;

may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
