Psalm 57:2-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
I
2 Have mercy on me, God,
have mercy on me.
In you I seek refuge.
In the shadow of your wings[a] I seek refuge
till harm pass by.(A)
3 I call to God Most High,
to God who provides for me.
4 May God send help from heaven to save me,
shame those who trample upon me.
May God send fidelity and mercy.
Selah
5 I must lie down in the midst of lions
hungry for human prey.(B)
Their teeth are spears and arrows;
their tongue, a sharpened sword.(C)
Footnotes
