Psalm57
Prayer for Rescue from Enemies
For the music director, according to Do Not Destroy.
1Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,because in you my soul takes refuge.In the shadow of your wings I will take refugeuntil destruction passes by.2I will call to God Most High,to God who accomplishes things concerning me.3He will send from heaven and save me;he will reproach the one who tramples me. SelahGod will send his loyal love and his faithfulness.4My soul is among lions.I lie down among those who devour—the children of humankind whose teeth are spears and arrowsand whose tongues are sharp swords.5Be exalted above the heavens, O God.Let your glory be above all the earth.6They have set a net for my steps;my soul is bowed down.They have dug a pit before me;they have fallen into the midst of it. Selah7My heart is steadfast, O God;My heart is steadfast.I will sing and give praise.8Awake, my glory;Awake, harp and lyre.I will awake the dawn. 9I will give you thanks among the peoples, O Lord;I will give you praise among the nations.10Because your loyal love is high to the heavens,and your faithfulness to the clouds.11Be exalted above the heavens, O God.Let your glory be above all the earth.Logos Bible Software
