The Book of Psalms, Chapter 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.
|
2 |
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth 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 thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above
all the earth.
|
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.
|
7 |
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give
praise.
|
8 |
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake
early.
|
9 |
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto
thee among the nations.
|
10 |
For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the
clouds.
|
11 |
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be
above all the earth.
