| 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.
|
| 57:2
| I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for
me.
|
| 57:3
| 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.
|
| 57:4
| 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.
|
| 57:5
| Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all
the earth.
|
| 57:6
| 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.
|
| 57:7
| My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give
praise.
|
| 57:8
| Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
|
| 57:9
| I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee
among the nations.
|
| 57:10
| For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
|
| 57:11
| Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all
the earth.
