Daily Bible CEV July 7 Verses

Psalm 57
[For the music leader. To the tune "Don't Destroy." A special psalm by David when he was in the cave while running from Saul.]
Praise and Trust in Times of Trouble

¹God Most High, have pity on me! Have mercy.

I run to you for safety.

In the shadow of your wings,

I seek protection till danger dies down.

²I pray to you, my protector.

³You will send help from heaven and save me,

but you will bring trouble on my attackers.

You are faithful, and you can be trusted.

⁴I live among lions, who gobble down people!

They have spears and arrows instead of teeth,

and they have sharp swords instead of tongues.

⁵May you, my God, be honored above the heavens;

may your glory be seen everywhere on earth.

⁶Enemies set traps for my feet and struck me down.

They dug a pit in my path, but fell in it themselves.

⁷I am faithful to you, and you can trust me.

I will sing and play music for you, my God.

⁸I feel wide awake! I will wake up my harp

and wake up the sun.

⁹I will praise you, Lord, for everyone to hear,

and I will sing hymns to you in every nation.

¹⁰Your love reaches higher than the heavens;

your loyalty extends beyond the clouds.

¹¹May you, my God, be honored above the heavens;

may your glory be seen everywhere on earth.
