PSALM 57

				1  Be merciful to me, O God,
				   be merciful to me!
				   For my soul trusts in You;
				   And in the shadow of Your
				   Wings I will make my refuge,
				   Until these calamities have 
				   passed by.
				
				
				2  I will cry out to God Most High,
				   To God who performs all things
				   For me.
				3  He shall send from heaven and
				   save me;
				   He reproaches the one who
				   Would swallow me up.
				   Selah
				   God shall send forth His mercy
				   And His truth.
				
				4  My soul is among lions;
				   I lie among the sons of men
				   Who are set on fire,
				   Whose teeth are spears and
				   Arrows,
				   And their tongue a sharp
				   Sword.
				5  Be exalted, O God, above the 
				   heavens;
				   Let Your glory be above all the
				   Earth.
				
				6  They have prepared a net for
				   my steps;
				   My soul is bowed down;
				   They have dug a pit before me;
				   Into the midst of it they
				   Themselves have fallen.
				   Selah
				
				7  My heart is steadfast, O God,
				   my heart is steadfast;
				   I will sing and give praise.
				8  Awake my glory!
				   Awake, lute and harp!
				   I will awaken the dawn.
				
				9  I will praise You, O Lord,
				   among the peoples;
				   I will sing to You among the 
				   nations.
				10 For Your mercy reaches unto
				   the heavens,
				   And Your truth unto the clouds.
				
				11 Be exalted, O God, above the
				   Heavens;
				   Let Your glory be above all the
				   Earth.
