57:1  Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, For my soul takes refuge in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction passes by.

57:2  I will cry to God Most High, To God who accomplishes {all things} for me.

57:3  He will send from heaven and save me; He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah. God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.

57:4  My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who breathe forth fire, {Even} the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows And their tongue a sharp sword.

57:5  Be exalted above the heavens, O God; {Let} Your glory {be} above all the earth.

57:6  They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They {themselves} have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

57:7  My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

57:8  Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

57:9  I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations.

57:10  For Your lovingkindness is great to the heavens And Your truth to the clouds.

57:11  Be exalted above the heavens, O God; {Let} Your glory {be} above all the earth.
