Ps. 57:1 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Ps. 56:14      Ps. 57:2

Psalms 57:1

Be gracious to me (show me favor; show me undeserved love), God (Elohim), be gracious to me
– for in you my soul (my whole being) has taken refuge (trusted; sought protection and hope)
and under (in) the shadow of your wings I will take refuge [Ruth 2:12; Matt. 23:37]
until the dangers (misfortunes, troubles, misdeeds) have passed.
[Unlike Ps. 56:2, "be gracious to me" is repeated once more here, reinforcing David's plea for mercy. The verb "take refuge" is also used twice. First in the perfect tense, "have taken refuge," which probably describes a completed action with an ongoing result—David has his safety and security with the Lord (Yahweh). When the verb is repeated, it is in the imperfect tense, which in Hebrew is often used to describe the future tense "I will take refuge" – together, this expresses hope for constant refuge. There is also an association with the wings of the cherubim overshadowing the mercy seat in the tabernacle, see also Ps. 17:8; 36:8; 61:5; 63:8; 91:4.]
