AB - Psalms - 57

57:1  Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me; for my soul has trusted in You; and in the shadow of Your wings will I hope, until the iniquity has passed away.

57:2  I will cry to God Most High; the God who has benefited me. Pause.

57:3  He sent from heaven and saved me; He reproached them that trampled on me; God has sent forth His mercy and His truth;

57:4  and He has delivered my soul from the midst of the lion's whelps; I lay down to sleep, though troubled. As for the sons of men, their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

57:5  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Your glory above all the earth.

57:6  They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul; they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it themselves. Pause.

57:7  My heart, O God, is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing; yes, I will sing psalms.

57:8  Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.

57:9  O Lord, I will give thanks to You among the nations; I will sing to You among the Gentiles.

57:10  For Your mercy has been magnified, even to the heavens, and Your truth to the clouds.

57:11  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Your glory above all the earth.
