YOUNG\'S LITERAL TRANSLATION
57:1 To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over.

57:6 A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.
57:7 Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise.
57:8 Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
57:9 I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations.
