PSALM Fifty Seven

For the director of music. To the tune of ‘Do Not Destroy’. Of David. A miktam. When he had fled from Saul into the cave.

 

1 

Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,

    for in you I take refuge.

I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings

    until the disaster has passed.

2 

I cry out to God Most High,

    to God, who vindicates me.

3 

He sends from heaven and saves me,

    rebuking those who hotly pursue me –

    God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.

4 

I am in the midst of lions;

    I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts –

men whose teeth are spears and arrows,

    whose tongues are sharp swords.

5 

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

    let your glory be over all the earth.

6 

They spread a net for my feet –

    I was bowed down in distress.

They dug a pit in my path –

    but they have fallen into it themselves.

7 

My heart, O God, is steadfast,

    my heart is steadfast;

    I will sing and make music.

8 

Awake, my soul!

    Awake, harp and lyre!

    I will awaken the dawn.

9 

I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;

    I will sing of you among the peoples.

10 

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;

    your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

11 

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

    let your glory be over all the earth.

PSALM Fifty Six

For the director of music. To the tune of ‘A Dove on Distant Oaks’. Of David. 

A miktam. When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.

1 

Be merciful to me, my God,

    for my enemies are in hot pursuit;

    all day long they press their attack.

2 

My adversaries pursue me all day long;

    in their pride many are attacking me.

3 

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

4 

    In God, whose word I praise –

in God I trust and am not afraid.

    What can mere mortals do to me?

5 

All day long they twist my words;

    all their schemes are for my ruin.

6 

They conspire, they lurk,

    they watch my steps,

    hoping to take my life.

7 

Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;

    in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

8 

Record my misery;

    list my tears on your scroll –

    are they not in your record?

9 

Then my enemies will turn back

    when I call for help.

    By this I will know that God is for me.

10 

In God, whose word I praise,

    in the Lord, whose word I praise –

11 

in God I trust and am not afraid.

    What can man do to me?

12 

I am under vows to you, my God;

    I will present my thank-offerings to you.

13 

For you have delivered me from death

    and my feet from stumbling,

that I may walk before God

    in the light of life.
