psalm 57 Psalm 57[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam. When he had fled from Saul into the cave.


1


Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,


for in you I take refuge.


I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings


until the disaster has passed.



2


I cry out to God Most High,


to God, who vindicates me.


3


He sends from heaven and saves me,


rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[c]


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.
 
Our God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit answer this request, we pray of you, so we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
