God answers us.

Psalm 57

New American Standard Bible

Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors.

For the music director; set to ^[a]Al-tashheth. A ^[b]Mikhtam of David, ^[c]when he fled from Saul in the cave.

57 Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me,
For my soul takes refuge in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction passes by.
² I will cry to God Most High,
To God who accomplishes all things for me.
³ He will send from heaven and save me;
He rebukes the one who ^[d]tramples upon me. Selah
God will send His ^[e]favor and His truth.

⁴ My soul is among lions;
I must lie among those who devour,
Among sons of mankind whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue is a sharp sword.
⁵ Be exalted above the heavens, God;
May Your glory be above all the earth.
⁶ They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They dug a pit before me;
They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah

⁷ My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
⁸ Awake, my glory!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
⁹ I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the ^[f]nations.
¹⁰ For Your goodness is great to the heavens
And Your ^[g]truth to the clouds.
¹¹ Be exalted above the heavens, God;
May Your glory be above all the earth.

in Jesus’ name. Amen.
