57:1 | Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. |
57:2 | I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me. |
57:3 | He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; Selah God sends his love and his faithfulness. |
57:4 | I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts--men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. |
57:5 | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. |
57:6 | They spread a net for my feet--I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path--but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah |
57:7 | My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. |
57:8 | Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. |
57:9 | I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. |
57:10 | For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. |
57:11 | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. |
