# Chapter 57
|
|
1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me!
|
|
For my soul trusts in You;
|
|
And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
|
|
Until these calamities have passed by.
|
|
2 I will cry out to God Most High,
|
|
To God who performs all things for me.
|
|
3 He shall send from heaven and save me;
|
|
He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah
|
|
God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
|
|
4 My soul is among lions;
|
|
I lie among the sons of men
|
|
Who are set on fire,
|
|
Whose teeth are spears and arrows,
|
|
And their tongue a sharp sword.
|
|
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
|
|
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
|
|
6 They have prepared a net for my steps;
|
|
My soul is bowed down;
|
|
They have dug a pit before me;
|
|
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
|
|
7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
|
|
I will sing and give praise.
|
|
8 Awake, my glory!
|
|
Awake, lute and harp!
|
|
I will awaken the dawn.
|
|
9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
|
|
I will sing to You among the nations.
|
|
10 For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
|
|
And Your truth unto the clouds.
|
|
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
|
|
Let Your glory be above all the earth. |
