Psalm 57

LXX

NIV

1 Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in thee: and in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
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 will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. Pause.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.
3 He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;
3 He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me—God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
4 and he has delivered my soul from the midst of lions’whelps: I lay down to sleep, though troubled. As for the sons of men, their teeth are arms and missile weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.
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 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6 They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it themselves. Pause.
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 My heart, O God, is ready, my heart is ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.
7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.
8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth. Psalm 58:1 (This chapter is not yet available)
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
