Psalms chapter 57

to me, God — be kind to me, because is in you. I am hiding in the until the passes over.I am calling out to God, — to God, who for me.He will send help from the skies and me; he will put to shame the one who is me. God will send out his and his .My life is surrounded by ; I lie down among people who . Their teeth are , their tongues are . the skies, God! Let your cover the whole earth!They set a for my feet — my life was with despair. They dug a in my path, but they fell into it themselves.My heart is , God. My heart is steady. I will — I will !Wake up, ! Wake up, and ! I will itself.I will you among the peoples, . I will make music for you among the .Because your reaches higher than the , and your stretches to the clouds. the skies, God! Let your cover the whole earth!
