Psalm 57
ISV Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionEnglish Standard Version
1Have 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.1Be 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.
2I call upon the God Most High; to the God who completes what he began in me.2I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
3He will send help from heaven to deliver me from those who harass and despise me. Interlude God will send his gracious love and truth.3He will send from heaven and save me; he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness!
4I 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.4My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5Be exalted above the heavens, God! May your glory cover the earth!5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!
6They 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! Interlude6They 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. Selah
7My heart is committed, God, my heart is committed, so I will sing and play music.7My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody!
8Wake up, my soul, wake up, lyre and harp! I will awaken at dawn.8Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!
9I will exalt you among the peoples, Lord. I will play music among the nations.9I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10For your gracious love is great, extending even to the heavens, and your truth even to the skies.10For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
11Be exalted above the heavens, God! May your glory cover the earth!11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!
