Psalms 57
Berean Standard Bible
1Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy,
for in You my soul takes refuge.
In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter
until the danger has passed. 2I cry out to God Most High,*
to God who fulfills His purpose for me. 3He reaches down from heaven and saves me;
He rebukes those who trample me.
Selah
God sends forth
His loving devotion and His truth. 4My soul is among the lions;
I lie down with ravenous beasts—
with men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords. 5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
may Your glory cover all the earth. 6They spread a net for my feet;
my soul was despondent.
They dug a pit before me,
but they themselves have fallen into it!
Selah 7My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and make music. 8Awake, my glory!*
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn. 9I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations;
I will sing Your praises among the peoples. 10For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens,
and Your faithfulness to the clouds. 11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
may Your glory cover all the earth.
