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, psaltery 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.
