Psalms 57:1-4

¹For the leader. Al tashheth. A michtam of David, when he fled from Saul into a cave. Be gracious, O God, be gracious to me, for in you I take shelter. In your sheltering wings I take refuge, till ruin be over past.

²I cry to the Most High God, to the God who accomplishes for me.

³He will send me his succour from heaven, he will thrust away those who would trample me. Selah

⁴In the midst of lions I lie, who devour human prey. Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue is a sharpened sword.
