Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 57

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful,
for I take refuge in You.

In the shadow of Your wings, I find shelter
until the storm has passed.

I cry out to God Most High,
to the One who fulfills His purpose for me.

He sends His love from heaven,
He reaches down to rescue me.

Though I am surrounded by those who seek my harm,
though their words cut like swords
and their hearts burn with fire,
still, my soul is steadfast in You.

My heart is firm, O God, my heart is firm!

I will sing and make melody,
I will awaken the dawn with my song.

I will praise You among the people, O Lord,
I will lift Your name throughout all time.

For Your love is vast as the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches beyond the skies.

Be exalted, O God, above all things!

Let Your glory shine over all the earth!
