Psalms 57

1

Psalm 57 For the director of music. [To the tune of] "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A When he had fled from Saul into the cave.

1

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.

2

I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills [his purpose] for me.

3

He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; God sends his love and his faithfulness.

4

I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts-- men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.

5

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

6

They spread a net for my feet-- I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path-- but they have fallen into it themselves.

7

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

8

Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

9

I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.

10

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

11

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

Psalms 58

1

Psalm 58 For the director of music. [To the tune of] "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A

1

Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men?

2

No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.

3

Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.

4

Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,

5

that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be.

6

Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions!

7

Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted.

8

Like a slug melting away as it moves along, like a stillborn child, may they not see the sun.

9

Before your pots can feel [the heat of] the thorns-- whether they be green or dry--the wicked will be swept away.

10

The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.

11

Then men will say, "Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth."

Psalms 59

1

Psalm 59 For the director of music. [To the tune of] "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A When Saul had sent men to watch David's house in order to kill him.

1

Deliver me from my enemies, O God; protect me from those who rise up against me.

2

Deliver me from evildoers and save me from bloodthirsty men.

3

See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, O LORD.

4

I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight!

5

O LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors.

6

They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.

7

See what they spew from their mouths-- they spew out swords from their lips, and they say, "Who can hear us?"

8

But you, O LORD, laugh at them; you scoff at all those nations.

9

O my Strength, I watch for you; you, O God, are my fortress,

10

my loving God. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me.

11

But do not kill them, O Lord our shield, or my people will forget. In your might make them wander about, and bring them down.

12

For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies they utter,

13

consume them in wrath, consume them till they are no more. Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.

14

They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.

15

They wander about for food and howl if not satisfied.

16

But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

17

O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.
