Psalm 57
New King James Version
Psalm 57
New King James Version
Prayer for Safety from Enemies(A)
To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David (B)when he fled from Saul into the cave.
57 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me!
For my soul trusts in You;
(C)And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
(D)Until these calamities have passed by.
2 I will cry out to God Most High,
To God (E)who performs all things for me.
3 (F)He shall send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches the one who [b]would swallow me up. Selah
God (G)shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
4 My soul is among lions;
I lie among the sons of men
Who are set on fire,
(H)Whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 (I)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
6 (J)They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
7 (K)My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake, (L)my glory!
Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 (M)I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the [c]nations.
10 (N)For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds.
11 (O)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

(A)Al director musical. Sígase la tonada de «No destruyas». Mictam de David, cuando David había huido de Saúl y estaba en una cueva.
57 Ten piedad de mí, oh Dios;
ten piedad de mí, pues en ti me refugio.
A la sombra de tus alas me refugiaré,
hasta que haya pasado el peligro.
2 Clamo al Dios Altísimo,
al Dios que me brinda su apoyo.
3 Desde el cielo me envía la salvación
y reprende a mis perseguidores. Selah
¡Dios me envía su gran amor y su verdad!
4 Me encuentro en medio de leones,
rodeado de gente rapaz.
Sus dientes son lanzas y flechas;
su lengua, una espada afilada.
5 ¡Sé exaltado, oh Dios, sobre los cielos!
¡Alza tu gloria sobre toda la tierra!
6 Tendieron una red en mi camino
y mi ánimo quedó por los suelos.
En mi senda cavaron una fosa,
pero ellos mismos cayeron en ella. Selah
7 Firme está, oh Dios, mi corazón;
firme está mi corazón.
¡Voy a cantarte y entonarte salmos!
8 ¡Despierta, alma mía!
¡Despierten, lira y arpa!
¡Haré despertar al nuevo día!
9 Te alabaré, Señor, entre los pueblos;
te cantaré salmos entre las naciones.
10 Pues tu gran amor se eleva hasta los cielos
y tu verdad llega hasta las nubes.
11 ¡Sé exaltado, oh Dios, sobre los cielos!
¡Alza tu gloria sobre toda la tierra!

1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.(C)
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings(D)
until the disaster has passed.(E)

rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[c](H)
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.(I)
4 I am in the midst of lions;(J)

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.(L)
6 They spread a net for my feet(M)—
I was bowed down(N) in distress.
They dug a pit(O) in my path—
but they have fallen into it themselves.(P)
7 My heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;(Q)
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!(R)
I will awaken the dawn.

I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.(S)
