Psalm 57

1. 1

   Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful, for I have taken refuge in you; *
   in the shadow of your wings will I take refuge until this time of trouble has gone by.

2. 2

   I will call upon the Most High God, *
   the God who maintains my cause.

3. 3

   He will send from heaven and save me; he will confound those who trample upon me; *
   God will send forth his love and his faithfulness.

4. 4

   I lie in the midst of lions that devour the people; *
   their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongue a sharp sword.

5. 5

   They have laid a net for my feet, and I am bowed low; *
   they have dug a pit before me, but have fallen into it themselves.

6. 6

   Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *
   and your glory over all the earth.

7. 7

   My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *
   I will sing and make melody.

8. 8

   Wake up, my spirit; awake, lute and harp; *
   I myself will waken the dawn.

9. 9

   I will confess you among the peoples, O LORD; *
   I will sing praise to you among the nations.

10. 10

    For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens, *
    and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

11. 11

    Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *
    and your glory over all the earth.
