Psalm 57 (WEBP)

[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.

[2] I will cry H7121 (8799) unto God H430 most high H5945; unto God H410 that performeth H1584 (8802) [all things] for me.
[3] He shall send H7971 (8799) from heaven H8064, and save H3467 (8686) me [from] the reproach H2778 (8765) of him that would swallow me up H7602 (8802). Selah H5542. God H430 shall send forth H7971 (8799) his mercy H2617 and his truth H571.
[4] My soul H5315 [is] among H8432 lions H3833: [and] I lie H7901 (8799) [even among] them that are set on fire H3857 (8802), [even] the sons H1121 of men H120, whose teeth H8127 [are] spears H2595 and arrows H2671, and their tongue H3956 a sharp H2299 sword H2719.
[5] Be thou exalted H7311 (8798), O God H430, above the heavens H8064; [let] thy glory H3519 [be] above all the earth H776.
[6] They have prepared H3559 (8689) a net H7568 for my steps H6471; my soul H5315 is bowed down H3721 (8804): they have digged H3738 (8804) a pit H7882 before H6440 me, into the midst H8432 whereof they are fallen H5307 (8804) [themselves]. Selah H5542.
[7] My heart H3820 is fixed H3559 (8737), O God H430, my heart H3820 is fixed H3559 (8737): I will sing H7891 (8799) and give praise H2167 (8762).
[8] Awake up H5782 (8798), my glory H3519; awake H5782 (8798), psaltery H5035 and harp H3658: I [myself] will awake H5782 (8686) early H7837.
[9] I will praise H3034 (8686) thee, O Lord H136, among the people H5971: I will sing H2167 (8762) unto thee among the nations H3816.
[10] For thy mercy H2617 [is] great H1419 unto the heavens H8064, and thy truth H571 unto the clouds H7834.
[11] Be thou exalted H7311 (8798), O God H430, above the heavens H8064: [let] thy glory H3519 [be] above all the earth H776.

Young’s Literal Translation

Psalm 57 (YLT)

[1] Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over.
[2] I call to God Most High, To God who is perfecting for me.
[3] He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached-who is panting after me. Selah. God sendeth 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 Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth Thine honour.
[6] A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.
[7] Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise.
[8] Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
[9] I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations.
[10] For great unto the heavens is Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
[11] Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God. Above all the earth Thine honour!
