Psalm 57

Trust God in times of trouble

1God, please be kind to me and help me!

Please help me!

I have come to you to keep me safe.

Until the danger has gone, keep me near to you,

as birds protect their babies under their wings .

2I will call to the Most High God to help me.

He is the God who stands beside me.

3He will send help from heaven

and he will save me.

He will punish the people who attack me.

God will show me his faithful love,

and he will do what he has promised.

4My enemies are all around me,

like hungry lions !

I must lie down among wild animals

that want to eat me!

They are men who use spears and arrows

to bite like teeth.

They use their tongues to hurt people,

like sharp swords .

5God, show how great you are,

high above the sky!

Let everybody on the earth see your glory !

6My enemies have prepared a trap to catch me.

That makes me very upset .

They have dug a deep hole on the path where I walk.

But they have fallen into it themselves!

7God, I have decided to trust you always.

Yes, I will trust you!

I will sing songs to praise you!

8I will wake up now!

I will pick up my harp and my lyre .

I will make music as the sun rises!

9My Lord God, I will thank you

in front of all the people.

I will sing to praise you,

so that all nations hear.

10Your faithful love is great.

It is higher than the skies.

Your truth reaches beyond the clouds.

11God, show how great you are,

high above the sky!

Let everybody on the earth see your glory!
