<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

Altaschith
<0516> (8686)_,

when he fled
<01272> (8800)

from
<06440>

Saul
<07586>

in the cave

Be merciful
<02603> (8798)

be merciful
<02603> (8798)

unto me: for my soul
<05315>

trusteth
<02620> (8804)

in thee: yea, in the shadow
<06738>

of thy wings
<03671>

will I make my refuge
<02620> (8799)_,

until [these] calamities
<01942>

be overpast
<05674> (8799)_.

{Altaschith: or, Destroy not} {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm}

57:2

I will cry
<07121> (8799)

unto God
<0430>

most high
<05945>_;

unto God

that performeth
<01584> (8802)

[all things] for me.

<07971> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and save
<03467> (8686)

me [from] the reproach
<02778> (8765)

of him that would swallow me up
<07602> (8802)_.

Selah
<05542>_.

God
<0430>

shall send forth
<07971> (8799)

his mercy
<02617>

and his truth
<0571>_.

{from the...: or, he reproacheth him that}

57:4

My soul
<05315>

[is] among
<08432>

lions
<03833>_:

[and] I lie
<07901> (8799)

[even among] them that are set on fire
<03857> (8802)_,

[even] the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

whose teeth
<08127>

[are] spears
<02595>

and arrows
<02671>_,

and their tongue
<03956>

a sharp
<02299>

sword
<02719>_.
