Psalm 57

10.10.10.10

Mercy, O my God, have mercy on me,
Because now my soul takes refuge in you.
The shadow of your wings my refuge be,
Until the disaster has passed on through.

I cry to God, God Most High I cry to,
God who fulfils his purpose for me, sends
From heav'n and saves, rebukes foes who pursue,
With love and with faithfulness God descends.

I, in the midst of li'ns, with fierce beasts, lie -
Men's teeth - spears and arrows, their tongues - sharp swords.
Above the heavens, God, be lifted high;
Let all the glory through earth be the Lord's.

For my feet they nets spread - bowed down, distressed.
They dug pits in my path but in them fell.
Steadfast my heart, God, still steadfast my heart;
I will sing and I'll make music as well.

Awake, my soul! Wake harp and lyre new strung!
Dawn I'll awake as it comes into view
I'll praise you, Lord, all the nations among;
Among the peoples, I will sing of you.

For great is your love, reaching to the sky;
Your faithfulness reaches ever upwards.
Above the heavens, God, be lifted high;
Let all the glory through earth be the Lord's.
