Psalms 57

Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave. [1] Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by. [2] I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. [3] He will send from heaven and save me; he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness! [4] My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. [5] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! [6] They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah [7] My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! [8] Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! [9] I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. [10] For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. [11] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! (ESV)
