Psalm 57 — Legacy Standard Bible

Let Your Glory Be Above All the Earth

For the choir director. ¹Al-tashheth. Of David. A ²Mikhtam. ³When he fled from Saul in the cave.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,For my soul ^atakes refuge in You;And in the ^bshadow of Your wings I will take refugeUntil destruction ^cpasses by.²I will call to God Most High,To God who ^aaccomplishes all things for me.³He will ^asend from heaven and save me;He reproaches him who ¹^,^btramples upon me. ² Selah.God will send His ^clovingkindness and His ³truth.⁴My soul is among ^alions;I am lying down among those who breathe forth fire,Sons of men whose ^bteeth are spears and arrowsAnd their ^ctongue a sharp sword.⁵^aBe exalted above the heavens, O God;Let Your glory be above all the earth.⁶They have ¹set a ^anet for my steps;My soul is ^bbowed down;They ^cdug a pit before me;They themselves have ^dfallen into the midst of it. Selah.⁷^aMy ^bheart is set, O God, my heart is set;I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!⁸Awake, ^amy glory!Awake, ^bharp and lyre!I will awaken the dawn.⁹^aI will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;I will sing praises to You among the ¹nations.¹⁰For Your ^alovingkindness is great to the heavensAnd Your ¹truth to the skies.¹¹^aBe exalted above the heavens, O God;Let Your glory be above all the earth.
