Psalms Chapter 57

1 - Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in thee: and in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.

2 I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. Pause.

Psalms Chapter 57

3 He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;

4 and he has delivered my soul from the midst of lions’ whelps: I lay down to sleep, though troubled. As for the sons of men, their teeth are arms and missile weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.

Psalms Chapter 57

6 They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it themselves. Pause.

7 My heart, O God, is ready, my heart is ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.

8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.

9 O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles.

Psalms Chapter 57

10 For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.

11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
