Be 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.
시편 57
개요
다윗이 굴에서 도망칠 때 썼다는 믹담으로 하나님의 자비를 구한다. 사자들 사이에서 영혼이 굽혀져 있는 처지를 묘사한다. 찬양의 후렴이 탄식을 끊는다. 「하나님이여 하늘 위에 높이 들리소서」라는 반복 후렴이 찬양과 간구를 하나로 묶는다.
Key Verses
He 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.
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.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
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.
