Psalm 57 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ Show me favour, O Elohim, show me favour! For in You my being is taking refuge; And in the shadow of Your wings I take refuge, Until destruction passes by.

² I cry out to the Most High Elohim, To Ě

³ He sends from the heavens and saves me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah. Elohim sends forth His kindness and His truth.

⁴ My being is in the midst of lions; I lie among those who breathe fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue is a sharp sword.

⁵ Be exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens; Let Your esteem be above all the earth.

⁶ They have prepared a net for my footsteps; My being was bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; They fell into the midst of it! Selah.

⁷ My heart is firm, O Elohim, My heart is firm; I sing and praise.

⁸ Awake, my esteem! Awake, harp and lyre! I awake the dawn.

⁹ I praise You among the peoples, O יהוה ; I sing to You among the nations.

¹⁰ For Your kindness is great up to the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds.

¹¹ Be exalted above the heavens, O Elohim; Let Your esteem be above all the earth.
