Psalm 57

57 Have mercy upon me, O God. Have mercy upon me, for my soul trusts in You, and in the shadow of Your wings I will trust till afflictions pass over.

² I will call to the Most High God, the God Who performs toward me.

³ He will send from Heaven and save me from the reproof of him who would swallow me. Selah. God will send His mercy and His truth.

⁴ My soul is among lions; I lie among the children of men, who are set on fire; whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁵ Exalt Yourself, O God, above the heaven. Let Your Glory be upon all the Earth.

⁶ They have laid a net for my steps. My soul is pressed down; they have dug a pit before me and have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

⁷ My heart is prepared, O God. My heart is prepared. I will sing and give praise!

⁸ Awake, my tongue! Awake, viol and harp! I will awake early!

⁹ I will praise You, O LORD, among the people. I will sing to You among the nations.

¹⁰ For Your mercy is great unto the heavens; Your Truth unto the clouds!
