大卫的金诗，交给诗班长，调用"休要毁坏"，是大卫躲在山洞里逃避扫罗时作的。 1 　神啊，求你恩待我！求你恩待我！

因为我投靠你；

我要投靠在你翅膀的荫下，

直到灾害过去。

2 我要向至高的　神呼求，

就是向为我成就他旨意的　神呼求。

3 　神从天上施恩拯救我，

斥责那践踏我的人；*细拉

神必向我发出他的慈爱和信实。

4 我躺卧在狮子中间，

就是在那些想吞灭人的世人中间；

他们的牙齿是枪和箭，

他们的舌头是快刀。

5 　神啊！愿你被尊崇，过于诸天；

愿你的荣耀遍及全地。

6 他们为我的脚设下了网罗，

使我低头屈服；

他们在我面前挖了坑，

自己反掉进坑中。*细拉

7 　神啊！我的心坚定，我的心坚定；

我要歌唱，我要颂赞。

8 我的灵*"灵"或译："荣耀"或"肝"；与16:9，30:12，108:1同啊！你要醒过来。

琴和瑟啊！你们都要醒过来。

我也要唤醒黎明。

9 主啊！我要在万民中称谢你，

在万族中歌颂你。

10 因为你的慈爱伟大，高及诸天，

你的信实上达云霄。

11 　神啊！愿你被尊崇，过于诸天；

愿你的荣耀遍及全地。

1 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.*57.1 Al-taschith: or, Destroy not*57.1 Michtam: or, A golden Psalm

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.*57.3 from the…: or, he reproacheth him that

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.*57.7 fixed: or, prepared

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.
