Psalms - Chapter 57 - New International Version
- 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.
- I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.
- He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me — "God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
- 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.
- Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
- 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.
- My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
- Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
- I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
- For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
- Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
