Psalm 57
New American Standard Bible

Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors.

For the music director; set to [a]Al-tashheth. A [b]Mikhtam of David, [c]when he fled from Saul in the cave.

57 Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me,
For my soul (A)takes refuge in You;
And in the (B)shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction (C)passes by.
2 I will cry to God Most High,
To God who (D)accomplishes all things for me.
3 He will (E)send from heaven and save me;
He rebukes the one who [d](F)tramples upon me. Selah
God will send His [e](G)favor and His truth.

4 My soul is among (H)lions;
I must lie among those who devour,
Among sons of mankind whose (I)teeth are spears and arrows,
And their (J)tongue is a sharp sword.
5 (K)Be exalted above the heavens, God;
May Your glory be above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a (L)net for my steps;
My soul is (M)bowed down;
They (N)dug a pit before me;
They themselves have (O)fallen into the midst of it. Selah

7 (P)My (Q)heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
8 Awake, (R)my glory!
Awake, (S)harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 (T)I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the [f]nations.
10 For Your (U)goodness is great to the heavens
And Your [g]truth to the clouds.
11 (V)Be exalted above the heavens, God;
May Your glory be above all the earth.

Psaltaren 57
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015

Bön och lovsång i nöden

57 (A) För körledaren, "Fördärva inte[a]". En sång av David när han hade flytt undan Saul och var i grottan[b].

2 (B) Förbarma dig, Gud,
        förbarma dig över mig!
    Till dig flyr min själ,
        i dina vingars skugga
    tar jag min tillflykt
        tills faran är över.
3 (C) Jag ropar till Gud, den Högste,
    till Gud, som fullbordar
        sitt verk för mig.
4 (D) Han sänder sin hjälp från himlen
        och frälser mig
    när mina förföljare hånar mig.[c]
            Sela
    Gud sänder sin nåd
        och sin sanning.

5 (E) Min själ är omgiven av lejon,
        jag ligger bland människoätare
    med tänder[d] som spjut och pilar
        och tungor som skarpa svärd.
6 Visa din höghet över himlen, Gud,
    och din härlighet över hela jorden!
7 (F) De lägger nät för mina fötter,
        min själ är nerböjd.
    De gräver en grop för mig,
        men de faller själva däri.
            Sela

8 (G) [e]Mitt hjärta är frimodigt, Gud,
        mitt hjärta är frimodigt.[f]
    Jag vill sjunga och spela.
9 (H) Vakna, min ära[g],
        vakna, lyra och harpa!
    Jag vill väcka morgonrodnaden.
10 (I) Jag vill tacka dig bland folken,
        Herre,
    lovsjunga dig bland folkslagen,
11 (J) för din nåd är stor
        och når till himlen,
    din sanning ända till skyarna.
12 Visa din höghet över himlen, Gud,
    och din härlighet över hela jorden!

  1. 57:1 "Fördärva inte"   Troligen namn på en melodi (även i Ps 58, 59, 75).
  2. 57:1 när han hade flytt undan Saul och var i grottan   Se 1 Sam 22:1 och Ps 142.
  3. 57:4 när mina förföljare hånar mig   Annan översättning (så Septuaginta): "och vanärar mina förföljare".
  4. 57:5 människoätare med tänder   Annan översättning: "eldsprutare, människor med tänder".
  5. 57:8f Stycket i vers 8-12 är närmast identiskt med Ps 108:2-6. De kan ha bevarats i två separata samlingar (42-72, 107-150) som sedan sammanförts.
  6. 57:8 frimodigt   Annan översättning: "redo".
  7. 57:9 min ära   Ofta uppfattat som liktydigt med "min själ". Kan också syfta på Herren själv som den troendes ära.

Psalm 57
New International Version

Psalm 57[a](A)

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When he had fled from Saul into the cave.(B)

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)

2 I cry out to God Most High,
    to God, who vindicates me.(F)
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,(G)
    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)
    I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
    whose tongues are sharp swords.(K)

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.

9 I will praise you, 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.(S)

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;(T)
    let your glory be over all the earth.(U)

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David (B)when he fled from Saul into the cave.

For my soul trusts in You;

And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 (I)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

Let Your glory be above all the earth.
