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.
57:2
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth
[all things] for me.
57:3
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.
57:4
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.
57:5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory
[be] above all the earth.
57:6
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.
57:7
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing
and give praise.
57:8
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself]
will awake early.
57:9
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing
unto thee among the nations.
57:10
For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy truth
unto the clouds.
57:11
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory
[be] above all the earth.
