Psalm 57
1599 Geneva Bible
57 1 David being in the desert of Ziph, where the inhabitants did betray him, and at length in the same cave with Saul, 2 Calleth most earnestly unto God, with full confidence that he will perform his promise, and take his cause in hand. 5 Also that he will show his glory in the heavens and the earth against his cruel enemies. 9 Therefore doth he render laud and praise.
To him that excelleth. [a]Destroy not. A Psalm of David on Michtam. (A)When he fled from Saul in the cave.
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, have mercy upon me; for my soul trusteth in thee, and in the shadow of thy wings will I [b]trust, till these [c]afflictions overpass.
2 I will call unto the most high God, even the God, that [d]performeth his promise toward me.
3 He will send from [e]heaven, and save me from the reproof of him that would swallow me. Selah. God will send his mercy, and his truth.
4 My soul is among lions; I lie among the children of men, that are set on fire; whose teeth are [f]spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 [g]Exalt thyself, O God, above the heaven, and let thy glory be upon all the earth.
6 They have laid a net for my steps; [h]my soul is pressed down, they have dug a pit before me, and are fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
7 Mine heart is [i]prepared, O God, mine heart is prepared; I will sing and give praise.
8 [j]Awake my tongue, awake viol and harp: I will awake early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the [k]clouds.
11 Exalt thyself, O God, above the heavens, and let thy glory be upon all the earth.

诗篇 57
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
祈求倚靠 神的荫庇(A)
大卫的金诗，交给诗班长，调用“休要毁坏”，是大卫躲在山洞里逃避扫罗时作的。
57 神啊，求你恩待我！求你恩待我！
因为我投靠你；
我要投靠在你翅膀的荫下，
直到灾害过去。
2 我要向至高的 神呼求，
就是向为我成就他旨意的 神呼求。
3 神从天上施恩拯救我，
斥责那践踏我的人；（细拉）
神必向我发出他的慈爱和信实。
4 我躺卧在狮子中间，
就是在那些想吞灭人的世人中间；
他们的牙齿是枪和箭，
他们的舌头是快刀。
5 神啊！愿你被尊崇，过于诸天；
愿你的荣耀遍及全地。
6 他们为我的脚设下了网罗，
使我低头屈服；
他们在我面前挖了坑，
自己反掉进坑中。（细拉）
7 神啊！我的心坚定，我的心坚定；
我要歌唱，我要颂赞。
8 我的灵（“灵”或译：“荣耀”或“肝”；与16:9，30:12，108:1同）啊！你要醒过来。
琴和瑟啊！你们都要醒过来。
我也要唤醒黎明。
9 主啊！我要在万民中称谢你，
在万族中歌颂你。
10 因为你的慈爱伟大，高及诸天，
你的信实上达云霄。
11 神啊！愿你被尊崇，过于诸天；
愿你的荣耀遍及全地。
