Ps 57
1
Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me, for in Thee hath my soul taken refuge;
yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I take refuge, until calamities be overpast.
2
I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.
3
He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth;
Selah ; God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
4
My soul is among lions, I do lie down among them that are aflame; 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; 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, they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah
7
My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
8
Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
9
I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto
Thee among the nations.
10
For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies.
11
Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
