Psalms

57

  1. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
  2. I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
  3. He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.
  4. My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
  5. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
  6. They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah
  7. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
  8. Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
  9. I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
  10. For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
  11. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
