Tehillim 57:1-12 תהילים נ״ז:א׳-י״ב

To the chief Musician, Al-tashĥet, a Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Sha᾽ul in the cave.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me: for my soul trusts in Thee: and in the shadow of Thy wings will I take refuge, until calamities be overpast.

I will cry to God most high; to God who performs all things for me.

He will send from heaven, and save me; he scorns him who would swallow me up. (Sela.) God shall send forth his steadfast love and his truth.

My soul is among lions: and I lie down among those who are aflame, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Thy glory be above all the earth.

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have dug a pit before me, into the midst of which they are fallen themselves. (Sela.)

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast: I will sing and give praise.

Wake up, my glory; awake, the harp and the lyre: I will awake the dawn.

I will praise Thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing to Thee among the nations.

For Thy love is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth to the clouds.

Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let Thy glory be above all the earth.
