Sálmarnir 57
Icelandic Bible
57 Til söngstjórans. Lag: Spill eigi. Miktam eftir Davíð, þá er hann flýði inn í hellinn fyrir Sál.
2 Ver mér náðugur, ó Guð, ver mér náðugur! Því að hjá þér leitar sál mín hælis, og í skugga vængja þinna vil ég hælis leita, uns voðinn er liðinn hjá.
3 Ég hrópa til Guðs, hins hæsta, þess Guðs, er kemur öllu vel til vegar fyrir mig.
4 Hann sendir af himni og hjálpar mér, þegar sá er kremur mig spottar. [Sela] Guð sendir náð sína og trúfesti.
5 Ég verð að liggja meðal ljóna, er eldi fnæsa. Tennur þeirra eru spjót og örvar, og tungur þeirra eru bitur sverð.
6 Sýn þig himnum hærri, ó Guð, dýrð þín breiðist yfir gjörvalla jörðina!
7 Þeir hafa lagt net fyrir fætur mína, sál mín er beygð. Þeir hafa grafið gryfju fyrir framan mig, sjálfir falla þeir í hana. [Sela]
8 Hjarta mitt er stöðugt, ó Guð, hjarta mitt er stöðugt, ég vil syngja og leika.
9 Vakna þú, sál mín, vakna þú, harpa og gígja, ég vil vekja morgunroðann.
10 Ég vil lofa þig meðal lýðanna, Drottinn, vegsama þig meðal þjóðanna,
11 því að miskunn þín nær til himna og trúfesti þín til skýjanna.
12 Sýn þig himnum hærri, ó Guð, dýrð þín breiðist yfir gjörvalla jörðina.
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.

King James Version
57 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
