| Be Merciful to Me O Lord. Psalm 57(v56) | |||
| 1 | Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by. | ||
| 2 | I cry to God Most High, to God who fulfils his purpose for me. | ||
| 3 | He will send from heaven and save me, he will put to shame those who trample upon me. God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness! | ||
| 4 | I lie in the midst of lions that greedily devour the sons of men; their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongues sharp swords. | ||
| 5 | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! | ||
| 6 | They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. | ||
| 7 | My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! | ||
| 8 | Awake, my soul! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! | ||
| 9 | I will give thanks to you, O Yahweh, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. | ||
| 10 | For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. | ||
| 11 | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! | ||
