psalms 57
1 - Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me,for my soul takes refuge in you.Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge,until disaster has passed.
2 - I cry out to God Most High,to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3 - He will send from heaven, and save me,he rebukes the one who is pursuing me.Selah.God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
4 - My soul is among lions.I lie among those who are set on fire,even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 - Be exalted, God, above the heavens!Let your glory be above all the earth!
6 - They have prepared a net for my steps.My soul is bowed down.They dig a pit before me.They fall into the middle of it themselves.Selah.
7 - My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast.I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8 - Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp!I will wake up the dawn.
9 - I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples.I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 - For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens,and your truth to the skies.
11 - Be exalted, God, above the heavens.Let your glory be over all the earth.
