Psalm 57
Vers 1
Be merciful, be merciful to me;
O God, with you I find security.
The shadow of your wings is my protection;
until the storms pass by, to God I flee –
to God Most High, who charts my life’s direction.
Vers 2
He’ll send from heaven and save me as before,
frustrating those who hound me evermore.
His steadfast love will comfort me in sorrows
though I lie down amid the lions’ roar,
beset by foes whose teeth are spears and arrows.
Vers 3
O God, exalt yourself above the skies!
Let over all the earth your glory rise.
Alarmed was I when foes against me banded
to set a snare, but to their great surprise
they fell into the pit for me intended.
Vers 4
O God, my heart is steadfast: I will sing
and, making music, praise my glorious King.
Awake, my soul! All slumber be forsaken.
Awake, O harp and lyre! Your praises bring!
Come, join with me: the dawn I will awaken!
Vers 5
Among the nations I will sing your praise a
nd will proclaim the wonders of your ways.
For to the clouds extends your love unfailing;
your faithfulness outdistances our gaze.
Through all the earth your glory be prevailing!
