Psalms 57:1-11 — A Prayer for Mercy
Ps.57.1-11
1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. 2Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, until destruction passes by. 3I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. 4He will send from heaven and save me; he rebukes the one who tramples me. Selah God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness. 5My soul is among lions; I lie down among fiery ones—the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongue is a sharp sword. 6Be exalted , O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth! 7They prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit before me; they fell into the middle of it themselves! Selah 8My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! 9Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn! 10I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. 11For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, and your faithfulness to the clouds .
