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