Psalms 57 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised（CSBA）

Praise for God’s ProtectionFor the choir director: ‘Do Not Destroy.’ A Miktam of David. When he fled before Saul into the cave. 

1Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me,

for I take refuge in you.

I will seek refuge in the shadow of your wings

until danger passes. 

2I call to God Most High,

to God who fulfils his purpose for me.  ,

3He reaches down from heaven and saves me,

challenging the one who tramples me.  Selah

God sends his faithful love and truth. 

4I am surrounded by lions;

I lie down among devouring lions –

people whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords. 

5God, be exalted above the heavens;

let your glory be over the whole earth. 

6They prepared a net for my steps;

I was despondent.

They dug a pit ahead of me,

but they fell into it!  Selah

7My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident.

I will sing; I will sing praises. 

8Wake up, my soul!

Wake up, harp and lyre!

I will wake up the dawn. 

9I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations. 

10For your faithful love is as high as the heavens;

your faithfulness reaches the clouds. 

11God, be exalted above the heavens; 

let your glory be over the whole earth.
