CHAP. LVII.
1 Dauid in prayer flying vnto God, complaineth of his dangerous case. 7 He incourageth himselfe to praise God.
2 I will crie vnto God most high: vnto God that perfourmeth all things for mee.
3 Hee shall send from heauen, and saue me from the reproch of him, that would swallow me vp; Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his trueth.3
5 Be thou exalted, O God, aboue the heauens: let thy glory be aboue all the earth.
6 They haue prepared a net for my steppes, my soule is bowed downe: they haue digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselues. Selah.6
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, and giue praise.7
8 Awake vp my glory, awake psalterie and harpe; I my selfe will awake early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing vnto thee among the nations.
10 For thy mercy is great vnto the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.10
11 Be thou exalted, O God, aboue the heauens: let thy glory be aboue all the earth.
KJV
