Psalms 56 CPDV

¹ Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into a cave.

² Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me. For my soul trusts in you.And I will hope in the shadow of your wings, until iniquity passes away.

³ I will cry out to God Most High, to God who has been kind to me.

⁴ He sent from heaven and freed me. He has surrendered into disgrace those who trampled me.God has sent his mercy and his truth.

⁵ And he has rescued my soul from the midst of the young lions.I slept troubled. The sons of men:their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword.

⁶ Be exalted above the heavens, O God,and your glory above all the earth.

⁷ They prepared a snare for my feet, and they bowed down my soul.They dug a pit before my face, yet they have fallen into it.

⁸ My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared.I will sing, and I will compose a psalm.

⁹ Rise up, my glory. Rise up, psaltery and harp.I will arise in early morning.

¹⁰ I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples.I will compose a psalm to you among the nations.

¹¹ For your mercy has been magnified, even to the heavens,and your truth, even to the clouds.

¹² Be exalted above the heavens, O God,and your glory above all the earth.
