Psalms 57 — TOJB

57(For the one directing. Set to Do Not Destroy. Mikhtam of Dovid, when he had fled from Sha'ul into the me'arah [cave])²Channeni, O Elohim, channeni;
for my nefesh taketh refuge in Thee;
yes, in the tzel (shadow) of Thy wings will I make my refuge,
until these devastations pass by.
³I will cry out unto Elohim Elyon;
unto El that fulfilleth all things for me.
⁴He shall send from Shomayim,
and save me from the disgrace of him that would swallow me up.
Selah
Elohim shall send forth His chesed (lovingkindness) and His emes (truth).
⁵My nefesh is among lions,
and I lie even among them that devour Bnei Adam,
whose shinayim (teeth) are spears and khitzim (arrows),
and their leshon a sharp cherev.⁶Be Thou exalted, O Elohim, above Shomayim;
let Thy kavod be above kol ha'aretz.⁷They have prepared a reshet (net) for my steps;
my nefesh is bowed down;
they have dug a pit before me,
into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves.
Selah
⁸My lev is nachon (steadfast), O Elohim, my lev is nachon;
I will sing and make music.
⁹Awake, my kavod (glory, soul, life);
awake, nevel and kinnor;
I myself will awake the shachar (dawn).
¹⁰I will give thanks unto Thee, Adonoi, among the peoples;
I will sing of Thee among the peoples.
¹¹For Thy chesed is gadol unto Shomayim,
and Thy emes unto the heights.¹²Be Thou exalted, O Elohim, above Shomayim;
let Thy kavod be above kol ha'aretz (all the earth).
