Psalm 57

Miserere mei, Deus

¹ 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.

² I will call unto the Most High God,*

even unto the God who shall fulfill his purpose for me.

³ He shall send from heaven and save me; he shall confound those who trample on me.*

God shall send forth his mercy and truth.

⁴ My soul is among lions that devour the people;*

their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁵ Exalt yourself, O God, above the heavens;*

let your glory be over all the earth.

⁶ 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.

⁷ My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed;*

I will sing and give praise.

⁸ Awake, my soul; awake, lute and harp;*

I myself will awaken the dawn.

⁹ I will give thanks unto you, O Lord, among the peoples,*

and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.

¹⁰ For the greatness of your mercy reaches unto the heavens,*

and your truth unto the clouds.

¹¹ Exalt yourself, O God, above the heavens;*

let your glory be over all the earth.
