Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 57:3-11 New International Version (NIV)

3. He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me— God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.

4. I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.

5. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

6. They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.

7. My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

8. Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

9. I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.

10. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

11. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
