David Begins With Prayer And Complaint

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 57:1

  1     ^¶  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O YAHWEH, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in YOU: yes, in the shadow of YOUR wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 57:2

  2    I will cry to YAHWEH most high; to the ALMIGHTY that performs all things for me.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 57:3

  3    HE shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. YAHWEH shall send forth HIS mercy and HIS Truth.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 57:4

  4    My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of adam, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 57:5

  5    Be YOU exalted, O YAHWEH, above the heavens; let YOUR splendor be above all the earth.
