Psalm 56 📜 📕 ↷
Be Merciful to Me, O God
1 UNTO the end, destroy not, to David in the inscription of the title, when he fled from the face of Saul into the cave.📜💬📚
2 Have mercy on me, o God, have mercy on me: because my soul hath trusted in thee. And I will hope in the shadow of thy wings, until iniquity pass.📜💬📚
3 I will cry to God the highest: God that hath done me good.📜💬📚
4 He sent from heaven, and delivered me: he hath given into reproach them that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth,📜💬📚
5 and hath delivered my soul out of the midst of lion's whelps: I slept troubled. The sons of men, their teeth are weapons and arrows: and their tongue a sharp sword.📜💬📚
6 Be exalted above the heavens, o God: and thy glory upon all the earth.📜💬📚
7 They prepared a snare for my feet: and bowed down my soul. They digged a pit before my face: and they are fallen into it.📜💬📚
8 My heart is ready, o God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and say a Psalm.📜💬📚
9 Arise my glory, arise psalter and harp: I will arise early.📜💬📚
10 I will confess to thee among peoples, o Lord: and I will say a Psalm to thee among the Gentiles.📜💬📚
11 Because thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth even to the clouds.📜💬📚
12 Be exalted above the heavens o God: and thy glory upon all the earth.📜💬📚
