          DASV: Psalm 57    

For the music director, according to Do Not Destroy,
a Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave

1 Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.
      For my soul takes refuge in you;
           in the shadow of your wings I take refuge,
           until troubles pass by.

2 I will cry to God Most High,
      to God who completes his plan for me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me,
      putting to shame the one who would trample on me. Selah
           God will send forth his loyal love and faithfulness.

4 My soul is surrounded by lions;
     I lie down among those who devour humans,
           whose teeth are spears and arrows,
     and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
     let your glory be over all the earth.

6 They set a net to trap my steps;
     my soul is bent over with distress.
      They dug a pit in front of me;
     but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
     I will sing and I will sing praises.
8 Wake up, my glory.
     Wake up, O harp and lyre.
           I myself will wake the dawn.

9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
     I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your loyal love is great unto the heavens,
     and your faithfulness to the skies.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
     let your glory be above all the earth.
