Wo ntaban nwini ase na mɛpɛ guankɔbea
kosi sɛ amanehunu no betwa mu.
2Misu frɛ Onyankopɔn, Ɔsorosoroni no;
Onyankopɔn a ɔma ne pɛ ba mu wɔ me ho.
3Ɔsoma fi ɔsoro hɔ begye me nkwa,
ɔka wɔn a wɔtaa me anibere so no anim;

11Ao, Onyankopɔn, wɔmma wo so mmoro ɔsoro;
ma wʼanuonyam nkata asase nyinaa so.
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.57.1 Al-taschith: or, Destroy not57.1 Michtam: or, A golden Psalm
2I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
3He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.57.3 from the…: or, he reproacheth him that
4My 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.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6They 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.
7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.57.7 fixed: or, prepared
8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
