Psalm 57 [Verse 1] 1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. [Interlude] [Verse 2] 2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me. 3 He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me— God sends forth his love and his faithfulness. [Pre Chorus] 7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. 8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. [Chorus] 9 I will praise you, 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. [Verse 3] 4 I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. [Interlude] 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. [Verse 4] 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. [Pre Chorus] 8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. [Chorus] 9 I will praise you, 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. [Bridge] 11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. [Bridge] 11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. [Chorus] 9 I will praise you, 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. [Outro]
