Psalm 57
- Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
until the destroying storms pass by. - I cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfils his purpose for me. - He will send from heaven and save me,
he will put to shame those who trample on me. Selah
God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness. - I lie down among lions
that greedily devour human prey;
their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongues sharp swords. - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth. - They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my path,
but they have fallen into it themselves.Selah - My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and make melody. - Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn. - I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations. - For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the clouds. - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.

Almighty God,
through your Son Jesus Christ you overcame death
and opened for us the gate of everlasting life;
grant us to die daily to sin,
that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen.
