Psalm 57
1 | 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. | |
2 | I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. | |
3 | 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. | |
4 | 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. | |
5 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. | |
6 | 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. | |
7 | My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. | |
8 | Awake up, my glory; awake, Psalm ltery and harp: I myself will awake early. | |
9 | I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. | |
10 | For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. | |
11 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. |
