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. |
