Psalm 57

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for my soul trusts in you, and under the shadow of your wings shall be my refuge, until this tribulation has passed.

I will call unto the Most High God, even unto the God who shall fulfill his purpose for me.

He shall send from heaven and save me; he shall confound those who trample on me. God shall send forth his mercy and truth.

My soul is among lions that devour the people; their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Exalt yourself, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

They have laid a net for my feet, and brought down my soul; they dug a pit before me, but have fallen into the midst of it themselves.

My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise.

Awake, my soul; awake, lute and harp; I myself will awaken the dawn.

I will give thanks unto you, O Lord, among the peoples, and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.

For the greatness of your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and your truth unto the clouds.

Exalt yourself, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
