To the choirmaster: according to #[Ps. 58, title; 59, title; 75, title] Do Not Destroy. A #Ps. 16, title; 56, title Miktam#57:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term of David, when he fled from Saul, in #1 Sam. 22:1; 24:1-3; [Ps. 142, title]the cave.

1 *Ps. 56:1;See Ps. 4:1Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,

for in you my soul *Ps. 91:4takes refuge;

in *See Ps. 17:8the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,

*Isa. 26:20till the storms of destruction pass by.

2 I cry out to God Most High,

to God who *Ps. 138:8fulfills his purpose for me.

3 *Ps. 144:5,7;[Ps. 18:16] He will send from heaven and save me;

he will put to shame *See Ps. 56:1him who tramples on me. Selah

*Ps. 43:3God will send out *See Ps. 36:5;40:11his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

4 My soul is in the midst of *Ps. 58:6lions;

I lie down amid fiery beasts—

the children of man, whose *Prov. 30:14teeth are spears and arrows,

whose *Ps. 55:21;59:7;64:3;Prov. 12:18;[Ps. 52:2;Jer. 9:8]tongues are sharp swords.

5 *Ps. 108:5;[Ps. 113:4]Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!

Let your glory be over all the earth!

6 They set *See Job 18:8a net for my steps;

my soul was *Ps. 145:14;146:8bowed down.

They *See Ps. 7:15dug a pit in my way,

but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

7 *For ver. 7-11, see Ps. 108:1-5My heart is *Ps. 112:7steadfast, O God,

my heart is steadfast!

I will sing and make melody!

8 *Judg. 5:12Awake, *See Ps. 16:9my glory!*57:8 Or my whole being

Awake, *1 Chr. 15:16O harp and lyre!

I will awake the dawn!

9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

10 For your *See Ps. 36:5steadfast love is great to the heavens,

your faithfulness to the clouds.

11 *[See ver. 5above]Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!

Let your glory be over all the earth!
