Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth

To the Heavenly Worship Leader, Set to “Destroy Not,” Mikhtam [meaning disputed] of David [Beloved], when he fled from Sha’ul [Desired] in the cave.

1 Be merciful unto me, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], be merciful unto me: for my soul trusts in you: yea, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast. 2 I will cry unto God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] most high; unto God-El [The Powerful Living Word] that performs [all things] for me. 3 He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach (disgrace; shame) of him that would swallow (to approve, commend, accept) me up. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said]. God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 4 My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 5 Be you exalted, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], above the heavens; [let] your glory [be] above all the earth. 6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen [themselves]. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said]. 7 My heart is fixed, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. 8 Awake up, my glory; awake, Psaltery (stringed instrument, like an harp) and harp: I [myself] will awake early. 9 I will praise you, O Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things], among the people: I will sing unto you among the nations. 10 For your mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and unto the clouds. 11 Be you exalted, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], above the heavens: [let] your glory [be] above all the earth. — Psalm 57 | New Messianic Version (NMV) The New Messianic Version Bible by Tov Rose © 2012.

where the light is, where hope sings

Prayer for Help

1 Show me loving-kindness, O God, show me loving-kindness. For my soul goes to You to be safe. And I will be safe in the shadow of Your wings until the trouble has passed. 2 I will cry to God Most High, to God Who finishes all things for me. 3 He will send from heaven and save me. He will put to shame him who is breaking me under his feet. God will send His loving-kindness and His truth.

4 My soul is among lions. I must lie among the sons of men who breathe fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongues are a sharp sword. 5 Be lifted up above the heavens, O God. Let Your shining-greatness be above all the earth. 6 They have set a net for my steps. My soul is brought down. They dug a deep hole in front of me. But they themselves have fallen into it.
