A prayer to take refuge in the shadow of God’s wings
주의 날개 그늘 아래로 피하는 기도
Psalm 57:1–11: a prayer for mercy, and praise. The speaker (“I”) says, “Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed. I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me. He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me.” and goes on, “God will send out his loving kindness and his truth. My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth! They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves.” and then, “My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises. Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn. I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies. Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.” 57:11 repeats the words of 57:5 (the same words in the Korean Revised Version, nearly the same in WEB). At 57:3 the Korean Revised Version reads 나를 삼키려는 자의 비방에서 나를 구원하실찌라 (he will save me from the reproach of him who would swallow me up), where WEB reads “and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me”. WEB opens 57:1 with the title “For the Chief Musician. To the tune of ‘Do Not Destroy.’ A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.”; the Korean Revised Version text this collection holds has no title in 57:1.
