Psalm 57
|
|
| 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. |
 "My soul has trusted in you"
(Unknown, 12th Century)
|
| 57:2
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
|
| 57:3
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.
|
| 57:4
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. |
|
| 57:5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the
earth. |
|
| 57:6
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. |
|
| 57:7
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. |
|
| 57:8
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. |
|
| 57:9
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among
the nations. |
|
| 57:10
For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. |
|
| 57:11
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the
earth.
