Psalm 57 – Studienbibel

1 To the chief Musician5329, Altaschith516, Michtam4387 of David1732, when he fled1272 from6440 Saul7586 in the cave4631. Be merciful2603 unto me, O God430, be merciful2603 unto me: for my soul5315 trusteth2620 in thee: yea, in the shadow6738 of thy wings3671 will I make my refuge2620, until these calamities1942 be overpast5674.¹ 2 I will cry7121 unto God430 most high5945; unto God410 that performeth1584 all things for me. 3 He shall send7971 from heaven8064, and save3467 me from the reproach2778 of him that would swallow me up7602. Selah5542. God430 shall send forth7971 his mercy2617 and his truth571.² 4 My soul5315 is among8432 lions3833: and I lie7901 even among them that are set on fire3857, even the sons1121 of men120, whose teeth8127 are spears2595 and arrows2671, and their tongue3956 a sharp2299 sword2719. 5 Be thou exalted7311, O God430, above the heavens8064; let thy glory3519 be above all the earth776. 6 They have prepared3559 a net7568 for my steps6471; my soul5315 is bowed down3721: they have digged3738 a pit7882 before6440 me, into the midst8432 whereof they are fallen5307 themselves. Selah5542.

7 My heart3820 is fixed3559, O God430, my heart3820 is fixed3559: I will sing7891 and give praise2167.³ 8 Awake up5782, my glory3519; awake5782, psaltery5035 and harp3658: I myself will awake5782 early7837. 9 I will praise3034 thee, O Lord136, among the people5971: I will sing2167 unto thee among the nations3816. 10 For thy mercy2617 is great1419 unto the heavens8064, and thy truth571 unto the clouds7834. 11 Be thou exalted7311, O God430, above the heavens8064: let thy glory3519 be above all the earth776.
