Bible ✝
Psalms 57
1 A David psalm, when he hid in a cave from Saul.
Be good to me, God—and now!
I've run to you for dear life.
I'm hiding out under your wings
until the hurricane blows over.
2 I call out to High God,
the God who holds me together.
3 He sends orders from heaven and saves me,
he humiliates those who kick me around.
God delivers generous love,
he makes good on his word.
4 I find myself in a pride of lions
who are wild for a taste of human flesh;
Their teeth are lances and arrows,
their tongues are sharp daggers.
5 Soar high in the skies, O God!
Cover the whole earth with your glory!
6 They booby trapped my path;
I thought I was dead and done for.
They dug a mantrap to catch me,
and fell in headlong themselves.
7 I'm ready, God, so ready,
ready from head to toe,
Ready to sing, ready to raise a tune:
8 "Wake up, soul!
Wake up, harp! wake up, lute!
Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!"
9 I'm thanking you, God, out loud in the streets,
singing your praises in town and country.
10 The deeper your love, the higher it goes;
every cloud is a flag to your faithfulness.
11 Soar high in the skies, O God!
Cover the whole earth with your glory!
