Psalm 57 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merdiful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in thee my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of thy wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by.
2
I cry to God Most High, to God who fulfils his purpose for me.
3
He will send from heaven and save me, he will put to shame those who trample upon me. [Selah] God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness!
4
I lie in the midst of lions that greedily devour the sons of men; their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongues sharp swords.
5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let thy glory be over all the earth!
6
They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. [Selah]
7
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody!
8
Awake, my soul! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!
9
I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
10
For thy steadfast love is great to the heavens, thy faithfulness to the clouds.
11
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let thy glory be over all the earth!
