Psalms [Praises] 57:2-10

²I cry out to El 'Elyon God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.

³He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·. God will send out his cheshed ·loving-kindness· and his truth.

⁴My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁵Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your kavod ·weighty glory· be above all the earth!

⁶They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

⁷My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing zahmar ·musical praise·.

⁸Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.

⁹I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to you among the nations.

¹⁰For your great cheshed ·loving-kindness· reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
