Psalm 57 (TRV)
From Textus Receptus
- 0 To the chief musician Al-taschith, a Michtam of David when he fled from Saul into the cave.
- 1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me. Because my soul trusts in You; yes, in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
until these calamities are passed by.
- 2 I will cry out to God Most High, to God who performs all things for me.
- 3 He will send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah. God will send forth His mercy and His truth.
- 4 My soul is among lions; I lay among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
- 5 You 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 dug a pit before me; into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
- 7 My heart is fixed O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise.
- 8 Wake up, my glory, awake, lute and harp. I myself will wake up early.
- 9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the people; I will sing to You among the nations.
- 10 Because Your mercy is great, reaching to the heavens, and Your truth to the clouds.
- 11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be above all the earth.
