Psalms 57 : 1 - 11
Chapter 57
1 | Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, Until these calamities have passed by.
|
2 | I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.
|
3 | He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up.Selah God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
|
4 | My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
|
5 | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
|
6 | They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen.Selah
|
7 | My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.
|
8 | Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
|
9 | I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations.
|
10 | For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds.
|
11 | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
