57:1 Have mercy on me, God, have mercy, for in you I have placed my trust. Even in the shadow of your wings will I find my refuge until this calamity passes.
57:2 I call upon the God Most High; to the God who completes what he began in me.
57:3 He will send help from heaven to deliver me from those who harass and despise me. Interlude God will send his gracious love and truth.
57:4 I am surrounded by lions. I lie down with those who burn with fire— that is, with people whose teeth are like spears and arrows— whose tongues are like sharp swords.
57:5 Be exalted above the heavens, God! May your glory cover the earth!
57:6 They have set a snare for my feet, which makes me depressed. They dug a pit in front of me, but they are the ones who fell into it! Interlude
57:7 My heart is committed, God, my heart is committed, so I will sing and play music.
57:8 Wake up, my soul, wake up, lyre and harp! I will awaken at dawn.
57:9 I will exalt you among the peoples, Lord. I will play music among the nations.
57:10 For your gracious love is great, extending even to the heavens, and your truth even to the skies.
57:11 Be exalted above the heavens, God! May your glory cover the earth!
