57:1

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

Altaschith
<0516> (8686)_,

Michtam
<04387>

of David
<01732>_,

when he fled
<01272> (8800)

from
<06440>

Saul
<07586>

in the cave
<04631>.>>

Be merciful
<02603> (8798)

unto me, O God
<0430>_,

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
<0410>

that performeth
<01584> (8802)

[all things] for me.

57:3

He shall send
<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>_.

57:5

Be thou exalted
<07311> (8798)_,

O God
<0430>_,

above the heavens
<08064>_;

[let] thy glory
<03519>

[be] above all the earth
<0776>_.

57:6

They have prepared
<03559> (8689)

a net
<07568>

for my steps
<06471>_;

my soul
<05315>

is bowed down
<03721> (8804)_:

they have digged
<03738> (8804)

a pit
<07882>

before
<06440>

me, into the midst
<08432>

whereof they are fallen
<05307> (8804)

[themselves]. Selah
<05542>_.

57:7

My heart
<03820>

is fixed
<03559> (8737)_,

O God
<0430>_,

my heart
<03820>

is fixed
<03559> (8737)_:

I will sing
<07891> (8799)

and give praise
<02167> (8762)_.

{fixed: or, prepared}

57:8

Awake up
<05782> (8798)_,

my glory
<03519>_;

awake
<05782> (8798)_,

psaltery
<05035>

and harp
<03658>_:

I [myself] will awake
<05782> (8686)

early
<07837>_.

57:9

I will praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, O Lord
<0136>_,

among the people
<05971>_:

I will sing
<02167> (8762)

unto thee among the nations
<03816>_.

57:10

For thy mercy
<02617>

[is] great
<01419>

unto the heavens
<08064>_,

and thy truth
<0571>

unto the clouds
<07834>_.

57:11

Be thou exalted
<07311> (8798)_,

O God
<0430>_,

above the heavens
<08064>_:

[let] thy glory
<03519>

[be] above all the earth
<0776>_.

58:1

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

Altaschith
<0516> (8686)_,

Michtam
<04387>

of David
<01732>.>>

Do ye indeed
<0552>

speak
<01696> (8762)

righteousness
<06664>_,

O congregation
<0482>_?

do ye judge
<08199> (8799)

uprightly
<04339>_,

O ye sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_?

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

58:2

Yea, in heart
<03820>

ye work
<06466> (8799)

wickedness
<05766>_;

ye weigh
<06424> (8762)

the violence
<02555>

of your hands
<03027>

in the earth
<0776>_.

58:3

The wicked
<07563>

are estranged
<02114> (8804)

from the womb
<07358>_:

they go astray
<08582> (8804)

as soon as they be born
<0990>_,

speaking
<01696> (8802)

lies
<03577>_.

{as soon...: Heb. from the belly}

58:4

Their poison
<02534>

[is] like
<01823>

the poison
<02534>

of a serpent
<05175>_:

[they are] like the deaf
<02795>

adder
<06620>

[that] stoppeth
<0331> (8686)

her ear
<0241>_;

{like the poison: Heb. according to the likeness, etc} {adder: or, asp}

58:5

Which will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of charmers
<03907> (8764)_,

charming
<02266> (8802) <02267>

never so wisely
<02449> (8794)_.

{charming...: or, be the charmer never so cunning}

58:6

Break
<02040> (8798)

their teeth
<08127>_,

O God
<0430>_,

in their mouth
<06310>_:

break out
<05422> (8800)

the great teeth
<04459>

of the young lions
<03715>_,

O LORD
<03068>_.

58:7

Let them melt away
<03988> (8735)

as waters
<04325>

[which] run continually
<01980> (8691)_:

[when] he bendeth
<01869> (8799)

[his bow to shoot] his arrows
<02671>_,

let them be as cut in pieces
<04135> (8709)_.

58:8

As a snail
<07642>

[which] melteth
<08557>_,

let [every one of them] pass away
<01980> (8799)_:

[like] the untimely birth
<05309>

of a woman
<0802>_,

[that] they may not see
<02372> (8804)

the sun
<08121>_.

58:9

Before your pots
<05518>

can feel
<0995> (8799)

the thorns
<0329>_,

he shall take them away as with a whirlwind
<08175> (8799)_,

both living
<02416>_,

and in [his] wrath
<02740>_.

{both...: Heb. as living as wrath}

58:10

The righteous
<06662>

shall rejoice
<08055> (8799)

when he seeth
<02372> (8804)

the vengeance
<05359>_:

he shall wash
<07364> (8799)

his feet
<06471>

in the blood
<01818>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

58:11

So that a man
<0120>

shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

Verily [there is] a reward
<06529>

for the righteous
<06662>_:

verily he is
<03426>

a God
<0430>

that judgeth
<08199> (8802)

in the earth
<0776>_.

{a reward...: Heb. fruit of the, etc}
