Psalms Chapter 57

Praise For God’s Deliverance
1     Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusts in you: yea, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities have passed.
2   I will cry unto God most high; unto God who performs all things for me.
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.
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.
5    Be exalted, O 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 have dug a pit before me, into the midst of which they are fallen themselves. Selah.
7   My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8   Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9   I will praise you, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto you among the nations.
10   For your mercy is great unto the heavens, and your truth unto the clouds.
11   Be exalted, O God, above the heavens: let your glory be above all the earth.
