“1 ¶ <<To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled
from Saul in the cave.>> Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto
me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I
make my refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast. 2 I will cry unto
God most high; unto God that performeth [all things] for me. 3 He shall
send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would
swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 4 My
soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them that are set on
fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and arrows, and
their tongue a sharp sword. 5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
[let] thy glory [be] above all the earth. 6 They have prepared a net for
my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into
the midst whereof they are fallen [themselves]. Selah.”
“7 ¶ My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give
praise. 8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will
awake early. 9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing
unto thee among the nations. 10 For thy mercy [is] great unto the
heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. 11 Be thou exalted, O God, above
the heavens: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.” (Psalms 57:1-11
AV)
