1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: <br /> for my soul trusteth in thee: <br /> yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, <br /> until these calamities be overpast. <br /> <br />2 I will cry unto God most high; <br /> unto God that performeth all things for me. <br /> <br />3 He shall send from heaven, and save me <br /> from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. <br /> God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. <br /> <br />4 My soul is among lions: <br /> and I lie even among them that are set on fire, <br /> even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, <br /> and their tongue a sharp sword. <br /> <br />5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; <br /> let thy glory be above all the earth. <br /> <br />6 They have prepared a net for my steps; <br /> my soul is bowed down: <br /> they have digged a pit before me, <br /> into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. <br /> <br />7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: <br /> I will sing and give praise. <br /> <br />8 Awake up, my glory; <br /> awake, psaltery and harp: <br /> I myself will awake early. <br /> <br />9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: <br /> I will sing unto thee among the nations. <br /> <br />10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, <br /> and thy truth unto the clouds. <br /> <br />11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: <br /> let thy glory be above all the earth.<br /><br />King David of Israel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-57-i-will-cry-unto-god-most-high/
