# Chapter 57
|
|
1 Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me,
|
|
for I take refuge in you.
|
|
I will seek refuge in the shadow of your wings
|
|
until danger passes.
|
|
2 I call to God Most High,
|
|
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
|
|
3 He reaches down from heaven and saves me,
|
|
challenging the one who tramples me. Selah
|
|
God sends his faithful love and truth.
|
|
4 I am surrounded by lions;
|
|
I lie down among devouring lions—
|
|
people whose teeth are spears and arrows,
|
|
whose tongues are sharp swords.
|
|
5 God, be exalted above the heavens;
|
|
let your glory be over the whole earth.
|
|
6 They prepared a net for my steps;
|
|
I was despondent.
|
|
They dug a pit ahead of me,
|
|
but they fell into it! Selah
|
|
7 My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident.
|
|
I will sing; I will sing praises.
|
|
8 Wake up, my soul!
|
|
Wake up, harp and lyre!
|
|
I will wake up the dawn.
|
|
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples;
|
|
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
|
|
10 For your faithful love is as high as the heavens;
|
|
your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
|
|
11 God, be exalted above the heavens;
|
|
let your glory be over the whole earth. |
