# Chapter 57
|
|
1 Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy!
|
|
I look to you for protection.
|
|
I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings
|
|
until the danger passes by.
|
|
2 I cry out to God Most High,
|
|
to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.
|
|
3 He will send help from heaven to rescue me,
|
|
disgracing those who hound me. Interlude
|
|
My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.
|
|
4 I am surrounded by fierce lions
|
|
who greedily devour human prey—
|
|
whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows,
|
|
and whose tongues cut like swords.
|
|
5 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!
|
|
May your glory shine over all the earth.
|
|
6 My enemies have set a trap for me.
|
|
I am weary from distress.
|
|
They have dug a deep pit in my path,
|
|
but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude
|
|
7 My heart is confident in you, O God;
|
|
my heart is confident.
|
|
No wonder I can sing your praises!
|
|
8 Wake up, my heart!
|
|
Wake up, O lyre and harp!
|
|
I will wake the dawn with my song.
|
|
9 I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
|
|
I will sing your praises among the nations.
|
|
10 For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
|
|
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
|
|
11 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
|
|
May your glory shine over all the earth. |
