KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 57
David prays about his dangerous case. To the chief musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1To the chief musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be gracious to me, for my soul seeks refuge in You; yea, in the shadow of Your wings I will seek refuge, until the destructions pass over.
2I will cry to God Most High, to God who works for me.
3He shall send from Heaven and save me; He will shame the one who crushes me. Selah. God shall send His kindness and His truth.
4My soul is among lions; I lie among those blazing, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let Your glory be over the whole earth.
6They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down; they have dug a pit before me; they have fallen into it. Selah.
7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise.
8Wake up my glory! Wake up, harp and lyre! I will stir the dawn with praise.
9I will praise You among the peoples, O Lord, I will sing to You among the nations.
10For Your mercy is great to the heavens, and Your truth to the clouds.
11Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Your glory over the whole earth.
