Psalms 57:2-10 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

2. I will cry unto God Most High; unto God that performeth all things for me.

3. He shall send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up reproacheth; Selah God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

4. My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

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

6. They have prepared a net for my steps; thy soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah

7. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.

8. Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

9. I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

10. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the skies.
