Psalms 57:2-11

²I will cry to God Most High, to God, who does all things for me.

³He will send help from heaven and save me, he is angry with those who crush me. Selah God will send me his loving kindness and his faithfulness.

⁴My life is among lions; I am among those who are ready to devour me. I am among people whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongues are sharp swords.

⁵Be exalted, God, above the heavens; let your glory be above all the earth.

⁶They spread out a net for my feet; I was distressed. They dug a pit in front of me. They themselves have fallen into the middle of it! Selah

⁷My heart is fixed, God, my heart is fixed; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.

⁸Wake up, my honored heart; wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.

⁹I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.

¹⁰For great is your unfailing love, reaching to the heavens; and your faithfulness to the clouds.

¹¹Be exalted, God, above the heavens; may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
