Psalm 57

 ¹ Be merciful to me, God; be merciful to me
       because I come to you for protection.
    Let me hide under the shadow of your wings
       until the trouble has passed.

 ² I cry out to God Most High,
       to the God who does everything for me. 
 ³ He sends help from heaven and saves me.
       He punishes those who chase me.   
                         Selah

       God sends me his love and truth. 

 ⁴ Enemies, like lions, are all around me;
       I must lie down among them.
    Their teeth are like spears and arrows,
       their tongues as sharp as swords. 

 ⁵ God is supreme over the skies;
       his majesty covers the earth. 

 ⁶ They set a trap for me.
       I am very worried.
    They dug a pit in my path,
       but they fell into it themselves.   
                         Selah
 

 ⁷ My heart is steady, God; my heart is steady.
       I will sing and praise you.
 ⁸ Wake up, my soul.
       Wake up, harp and lyre!
       I will wake up the dawn.
 ⁹ Lord, I will praise you among the nations;
       I will sing songs of praise about you to all the nations.
 ¹⁰ Your great love reaches to the skies,
       your truth to the clouds.
 ¹¹ God, you are supreme above the skies.
       Let your glory be over all the earth. (Psalm 57, New Century Version) Pin It Now!
