Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth
To the choirmaster: according to 57:0 [Ps. 58, title; 59, title; 75, title] Do Not Destroy. A 57:0 Ps. 16, title; 56, title Miktam57:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term of David, when he fled from Saul, in 57:0 1 Sam. 22:1; 24:1-3; [Ps. 142, title]the cave.

157:1 Ps. 56:1; See Ps. 4:1Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul 57:1 Ps. 91:4takes refuge;
in 57:1 See Ps. 17:8the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
57:1 Isa. 26:20till the storms of destruction pass by.
2I cry out to God Most High,
to God who 57:2 Ps. 138:8fulfills his purpose for me.
357:3 Ps. 144:5, 7; [Ps. 18:16] He will send from heaven and save me;
he will put to shame 57:3 See Ps. 56:1him who tramples on me. Selah
57:3 Ps. 43:3God will send out 57:3 See Ps. 36:5; 40:11his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

4My soul is in the midst of 57:4 Ps. 58:6lions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose 57:4 Prov. 30:14teeth are spears and arrows,
whose 57:4 Ps. 55:21; 59:7; 64:3; Prov. 12:18; [Ps. 52:2; Jer. 9:8]tongues are sharp swords.

557:5 Ps. 108:5; [Ps. 113:4]Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!

6They set 57:6 See Job 18:8a net for my steps;
my soul was 57:6 Ps. 145:14; 146:8bowed down.
They 57:6 See Ps. 7:15dug a pit in my way,
but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
757:7 For ver. 7-11, see Ps. 108:1-5My heart is 57:7 Ps. 112:7steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
857:8 Judg. 5:12Awake, 57:8 See Ps. 16:9my glory!57:8 Or my whole being
Awake, 57:8 1 Chr. 15:16O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
9I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10For your 57:10 See Ps. 36:5steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.

1157:11 [See ver. 5above]Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
