| [To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.] | Be Merciful to Me O Lord. Psalm 57(v56) | ||
| Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in thee my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of thy wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by. | |||
| I cry to God Most High, to God who fulfils his purpose for me. | |||
| He will send from heaven and save me, he will put to shame those who trample upon me. [Selah] God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness! | |||
| I lie in the midst of lions that greedily devour the sons of men; their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongues sharp swords. | |||
| Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let thy glory be over all the earth! | |||
| They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. [Selah] | |||
| My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! | |||
| Awake, my soul! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! | |||
| I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to thee among the nations. | |||
| For thy steadfast love is great to the heavens, thy faithfulness to the clouds. | |||
| Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let thy glory be over all the earth! | |||
