Psalms 57
57
Triumphant Faith
To the Pure and Shining One
King David’s golden song of instruction composed when he hid from Saul in a cave # 57 This incident is recorded in 1 Sam. 24.
To the tune of “Do Not Destroy”
1Please, God, show me mercy!
Open your grace-fountain for me,
for you are my soul’s true shelter.
I will hide beneath the shadow of your embrace,
under the wings of your cherubim,
until this terrible trouble is past.
2I will cry out to you, the God of the highest heaven,
the mighty God, who performs all these wonders for me.
3From heaven he will send a father’s help to save me.
He will trample down those who trample me.
Pause in his presence
He will always show me love
by his gracious and constant care.
4I am surrounded by these fierce and brutal men.
They are like lions just wanting to tear me to shreds.
Why must I continue to live among these seething terrorists,
breathing out their angry threats and insults against me?
5Lord God, be exalted as you soar throughout the heavens.
May your shining glory be seen in the skies!
Let it be seen high above over all the earth!
6For they have set a trap for me. # 57:6 The Septuagint reads “They have dug a cesspool in front of me.”
Frantic fear has me overwhelmed.
But look! The very trap they set for me
has sprung shut upon themselves instead of me!
Pause in his presence
7My heart, O God, is quiet and confident.
Now I can sing with passion your wonderful praises!
8Awake, O my soul, with the music of his splendor-song!
Arise, my soul, and sing his praises!
My worship will awaken the dawn,
greeting the daybreak with my songs of praise!
9Wherever I go, I will thank you, my God.
Among all the nations they will hear my praise songs to you.
10Your love is so extravagant it reaches to the heavens;
your faithfulness so astonishing it stretches to the sky!
11Lord God, be exalted as you soar throughout the heavens.
May your shining glory be shown in the skies!
Let it be seen high above all the earth!

1For the leader. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” By David, a mikhtam, when he fled from Sha’ul into the cave:
2Show me favor, God, show me favor;
for in you I have taken refuge.
Yes, I will find refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the storms have passed.
3I call to God, the Most High,
to God, who is accomplishing his purpose for me.
4He will send from heaven and save me
when those who would trample me down mock me. (Selah)
God will send his grace and his truth.
5I am surrounded by lions,
I am lying down among people breathing fire,
men whose teeth are spears and arrows
and their tongues sharp-edged swords.
6Be exalted, God, above heaven!
May your glory be over all the earth!
7They prepared a snare for my feet,
but I am bending over [to avoid it].
They dug a pit ahead of me,
but they fell into it themselves. (Selah)
8My heart is steadfast, God, steadfast.
I will sing and make music.
9Awake, my glory! Awake, lyre and lute!
I will awaken the dawn.
10I will thank you, Adonai, among the peoples;
I will make music to you among the nations.
11For your grace is great, all the way to heaven,
and your truth, all the way to the skies.
12Be exalted, God, above heaven!
May your glory be over all the earth!
