Please join me in JOYFULLY praying Psalm 57 with the psalmist. It is a not only a prayer for safety but also a magnificent praise to our awesome God Most High!
Psalm 57
For my soul trusts in You;
and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
until these calamities have passed by.
2 I will cry out to God Most High,
to God who performs all things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah
God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
4 My soul is among lions;
I lie among the sons of men
who are set on fire,
whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let Your glory be above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps;
my soul is bowed down;
they have dug a pit before me;
into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake, my glory!
Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the nations.
10 For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
and Your truth unto the clouds.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let Your glory be above all the earth.
