57:1 （大衛逃避掃羅，藏在洞裡。那時，他作這金詩，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。）上帝啊，求你憐憫我，憐憫我！因為我的心投靠你。我要投靠在你翅膀的蔭下，等到災害過去。
57:2 我要求告至高的上帝，就是為我成全諸事的上帝。
57:3 那要吞我的人辱罵我的時候，上帝從天上必施恩救我，也必向我發出慈愛和誠實。
57:4 我的性命在獅子中間；我躺臥在性如烈火的世人當中。他們的牙齒是槍、箭；他們的舌頭是快刀。
57:5 上帝啊，願你崇高過於諸天！願你的榮耀高過全地！
57:6 他們為我的腳設下網羅，壓制我的心；他們在我面前挖了坑，自己反掉在其中。（細拉）
57:7 上帝啊，我心堅定，我心堅定；我要唱詩，我要歌頌！
57:8 我的靈（原文是榮耀）啊，你當醒起！琴瑟啊，你們當醒起！我自己要極早醒起！
57:9 主啊，我要在萬民中稱謝你，在列邦中歌頌你！
57:10 因為，你的慈愛高及諸天；你的誠實達到穹蒼。
57:11 上帝啊，願你崇高過於諸天！願你的榮耀高過全地！

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not
Destroy.” Of David. A miktam. When he had fled from Saul into the cave.
1 Have
mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
2 I
cry out to God Most High,
to God, who vindicates me.
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me—
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
to God, who vindicates me.
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me—
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
4 I am
in the midst of lions;
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 Be
exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
let your glory be over all the earth.
6 They
spread a net for my feet—
I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path—
but they have fallen into it themselves.
I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path—
but they have fallen into it themselves.
7 My
heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I
will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 Be
exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
let your glory be over all the earth.

詩人和上帝的關係是親密的，因為上帝是他的依靠，是他在患難中的幫助！不僅如此，一生的成就也是來自上帝的成全。正如一開始的詩句所說：「上帝啊，求你憐憫我，憐憫我！因為我的心投靠你。我要投靠在你翅膀的蔭下，等到災害過去。我要求告至高的上帝，就是為我成全諸事的上帝。」
這也說明人不可以自以為強盛，靠自己的逞強來做事。人要是如此，就會像蘆葦一般，外表英俊挺拔，卻是不禁風一吹就被折斷！正如人類的歷史，經過了啟蒙運動，認為自己已經夠好，已經夠成熟了，不需要上帝的幫助，可以為自己建立樂土！但是，經過了兩次世界大戰之後，人深深體會到，人還是有極限的，還是不夠堅強！
詩人大衛一生經歷許多愁苦，但是他相信上帝的同在，也因為如此可以承擔上帝給他的重任，成為以色列的君王。因此，他從內心發出讚美：「主啊，我要在萬民中稱謝你，在列邦中歌頌你！因為，你的慈愛高及諸天；你的誠實達到穹蒼。上帝啊，願你崇高過於諸天！願你的榮耀高過全地！」
願大衛這樣的讚美，也成為我們的讚美！因為我們透過信靠主耶穌，深深體會到，要不是上帝的慈愛，我們豈會有今天，以及將來的盼望呢！
