Psalm 57 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

I call to God Most High,

to God who fulfills his purpose for me.[fn]

He reaches down from heaven and saves me,

challenging the one who tramples me.Selah

God sends his faithful love and truth.

I am surrounded by lions;

I lie down among devouring lions —

people whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

God, be exalted above the heavens;

let your glory be over the whole earth.

They prepared a net for my steps;

I was despondent.

They dug a pit ahead of me,

but they fell into it!Selah

My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident.

I will sing; I will sing praises.

Wake up, my soul!

Wake up, harp and lyre!

I will wake up the dawn.

I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

For your faithful love is as high as the heavens;

your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

God, be exalted above the heavens;

let your glory be over the whole earth.
