1(57) For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave. Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in you: and in the shadow of your wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away. 2I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. Pause. 3He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth; 4and he has delivered my soul from the midst of [lions']whelps: I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are arms and [missile] weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword. 5Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth. 6They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it [themselves]. Pause. 7My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yes will sing psalms. 8Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will awake early. 9O Lord, I will give thanks to you among the nations: I will sing to you among the Gentiles. 10For your mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds. 11Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
