about

This is a rhymed translation of Psalm 57 from the Bible

lyrics

Psalm 57

Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me
For my soul takes refuge in thee
Until disaster has passed me by
Beneath your sheltering wings I hide

God Most High please hear my cry
Save me from those who want me to die
I am surrounded by ravenous beasts
Men with spears and arrows for teeth

I lie among lions whose tongues are swords
But still I have faith in the love of the Lord
Above the sun, You have more worth
Your glory is shining all over the earth

In distress I was bowed down
My enemies set a snare on the ground
They dug a dangerous pit in my path
But they themselves fell into the trap

So God I praise you all day long
My heart is strong, My heart is strong
I will make music and sing my song
Awake, my soul, awaken the dawn

I will praise You Lord my King
Among many nations and people I sing
Your faithfulness and endless love
Reach up to the heavenly skies and above

Above the sun, You have more worth
Your glory is shining all over the earth
Your glory is shining all over the earth
Your glory is shining all over the earth
