Psalm 57
The Message
57 1-3 Be good to me, God—and now!
I’ve run to you for dear life.
I’m hiding out under your wings
until the hurricane blows over.
I call out to High God,
the God who holds me together.
He sends orders from heaven and saves me,
he humiliates those who kick me around.
God delivers generous love,
he makes good on his word.
4 I find myself in a pride of lions
who are wild for a taste of human flesh;
Their teeth are lances and arrows,
their tongues are sharp daggers.
5 Soar high in the skies, O God!
Cover the whole earth with your glory!
6 They booby-trapped my path;
I thought I was dead and done for.
They dug a mantrap to catch me,
and fell in headlong themselves.
7-8 I’m ready, God, so ready,
ready from head to toe,
Ready to sing, ready to raise a tune:
“Wake up, soul!
Wake up, harp! wake up, lute!
Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!”
9-10 I’m thanking you, God, out loud in the streets,
singing your praises in town and country.
The deeper your love, the higher it goes;
every cloud is a flag to your faithfulness.
11 Soar high in the skies, O God!
Cover the whole earth with your glory!

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.

Salmo 57 (56)
Dios es bueno conmigo
57 Al maestro del coro. Según “No destruyas”. Poema de David. Cuando escapó de Saúl escondiéndose en una cueva.
2 Apiádate de mí, oh Dios, apiádate,
que en ti pongo mi confianza;
bajo tus alas me refugiaré
hasta que pase la desgracia.
3 Invocaré al Dios Altísimo,
al Dios que es bueno conmigo.
4 Me salvará desde el cielo
y humillará a quien me acosa; [ Pausa]
¡Dios enviará su amor y verdad!
5 Estoy tendido entre leones
que devoran a seres humanos;
sus dientes son lanzas y flechas,
es su lengua una espada afilada.
6 Oh Dios, álzate sobre los cielos,
alza tu gloria sobre la tierra entera.
7 A mis pies tendieron una trampa
y todo mi ser quedó abatido;
delante de mí cavaron una fosa,
pero ellos mismos cayeron dentro. [ Pausa]
8 Mi corazón está firme, oh Dios,
se siente firme mi corazón.
Voy a cantar, voy a tocar:
9 ¡Despierta, corazón mío!
¡Despertaos, cítara y arpa,
que yo despertaré a la aurora!
10 Te alabaré entre los pueblos, Señor,
te cantaré entre las naciones,
11 pues tu amor llega hasta el cielo,
hasta el firmamento tu verdad.
12 Oh Dios, álzate sobre los cielos,
alza tu gloria sobre la tierra entera.

57 För sångmästaren; »Fördärva icke»; en sång av David, när han flydde för Saul och var i grottan.
2 Var mig nådig, o Gud, var mig nådig; ty till dig tager min själ sin tillflykt. Ja, under dina vingars skugga vill jag taga min tillflykt, till dess att det onda är förbi.
3 Jag ropar till Gud den Högste, till Gud, som fullbordar sitt verk för mig.
4 Han skall sända från himmelen och frälsa mig, när jag smädas av människor som stå mig efter livet. Sela. Gud skall sända sin nåd och sin trofasthet.
5 Min själ är omgiven av lejon, jag måste ligga bland eldsprutare, bland människor vilkas tänder äro spjut och pilar, och vilkas tungor äro skarpa svärd.
6 Upphöjd vare du, Gud, över himmelen; över hela jorden sträcke sig din ära.
7 De lägga ut nät för mina fötter, min själ böjes ned, de gräva för mig en grop, men de falla själva däri. Sela.
8 Mitt hjärta är frimodigt, o Gud, mitt hjärta är frimodigt; jag vill sjunga och lova.
9 Vakna upp, min ära; upp, psaltare och harpa! Jag vill väcka morgonrodnaden.
10 Jag vill tacka dig bland folken, Herre; jag vill lovsjunga dig bland folkslagen.
11 Ty din nåd är stor allt upp till himmelen och din trofasthet allt upp till skyarna.
12 Upphöjd vare du, Gud, över himmelen; över hela jorden sträcke sig din ära.
