PSALM # 57 for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings




Psalm 57 (New International Version)


Psalm 57

For the director of music. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A miktam . When he had fled from Saul into the cave. 
 1 Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
       for in you my soul takes refuge.
       I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
       until the disaster has passed.
 2 I cry out to God Most High,
       to God, who fulfills {his purpose} for me.

 3 He sends from heaven and saves me,
       rebuking those who hotly pursue me;
       Selah
       God sends his love and his faithfulness.

 4 I am in the midst of lions;
       I lie among ravenous beasts—
       men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
       whose tongues are sharp swords.

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

 6 They spread a net for my feet—
       I was bowed down in distress.
       They dug a pit in my path—
       but they have fallen into it themselves.
       Selah

 7 My heart is steadfast, O God,
       my heart is steadfast;
       I will sing and make music.

 8 Awake, my soul!
       Awake, harp and lyre!
       I will awaken the dawn.

 9 I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations;
       I will sing of you among the peoples.

 10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
       your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

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