New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 57
1
Have mercy on me, O God (Elohim), have mercy!<br>I look to you for protection.<br>I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings<br>until the danger passes by.<br>
2
I cry out to God (Elohim) Most High,<br>to God (Elohim) who will fulfill his purpose for me.<br>
3
He will send help from heaven to rescue me,<br>disgracing those who hound me. <i>Interlude</i><br>My God (Elohim) will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.<br>
4
I am surrounded by fierce lions<br>who greedily devour human prey —<br>whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows,<br>and whose tongues cut like swords.<br>
5
Be exalted, O God (Elohim), above the highest heavens!<br>May your glory shine over all the earth.<br>
6
My enemies have set a trap for me.<br>I am weary from distress.<br>They have dug a deep pit in my path,<br>but they themselves have fallen into it. <i>Interlude</i><br>
7
My heart is confident in you, O God (Elohim);<br>my heart is confident.<br>No wonder I can sing your praises!<br>
8
Wake up, my heart!<br>Wake up, O lyre and harp!<br>I will wake the dawn with my song.<br>
9
I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.<br>I will sing your praises among the nations.<br>
10
For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.<br>Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.<br>
11
Be exalted, O God (Elohim), above the highest heavens.<br>May your glory shine over all the earth.<br>
