Psalm 57

Common English Bible CEB

1 Have mercy on me, God; have mercy on me because I have taken refuge in you. I take refuge in the shadow of your wings until destruction passes by.

2 I call out to God Most High— to God, who comes through for me.

3 He sends orders from heaven and saves me, rebukes the one who tramples me. Selah God sends his loyal love and faithfulness.

4 My life is in the middle of a pack of lions. I lie down among those who devour humans. Their teeth are spears and arrows; their tongues are sharpened swords.

5 Exalt yourself, God, higher than heaven! Let your glory be over all the earth!

6 They laid a net for my feet to bring me down; they dug a pit for me, but they fell into it instead! Selah

7 My heart is unwavering, God— my heart is unwavering. I will sing and make music.

8 Wake up, my glory! Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake the dawn itself!

9 I will give thanks to you, my Lord, among all the peoples; I will make music to you among the nations

10 because your faithful love is as high as heaven; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

11 Exalt yourself, God, higher than heaven! Let your glory be over all the earth!

The Message Bible MSG

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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