Psalms  57

1. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.
2. I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me.
3. He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; Selah God sends his love and his faithfulness.
4. I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts -- men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
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. Selah
7. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
8. Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9. I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
10. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
