Psalms 57

1 Be good to me, God - and now! I've run to you for dear life. I'm hiding out under your wings until the hurricane blows over.

1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.

2 I call out to High God, the God who holds me together.

2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.

3 He sends orders from heaven and saves me, he humiliates those who kick me around. God delivers generous love, he makes good on his word.

3 He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me—God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.

4 I find myself in a pride of lions who are wild for a taste of human flesh; Their teeth are lances and arrows, their tongues are sharp daggers.

4 I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.

5 Soar high in the skies, O God! Cover the whole earth with your glory!

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

6 They booby trapped my path; I thought I was dead and done for. They dug a mantrap to catch me, and fell in headlong themselves.

6 They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.

7 I'm ready, God, so ready, ready from head to toe, Ready to sing, ready to raise a tune:

7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

8 "Wake up, soul! Wake up, harp! wake up, lute! Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!"

8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

9 I'm thanking you, God, out loud in the streets, singing your praises in town and country.

9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.

10 The deeper your love, the higher it goes; every cloud is a flag to your faithfulness.

10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

11 Soar high in the skies, O God! Cover the whole earth with your glory!

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
