Psalm 57:7

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

I am faithful to you, and you can trust me. I will sing and play music for you, my God.

See the chapter Copy

Bad news won't bother them; they have decided to trust the LORD.

Some merciless people are trying to trap me, but I never turn my back on your teachings.

You, LORD, are my God! Please listen to my prayer.

Protect me from the traps of those violent people,

I asked the LORD for help, and he saved me from all my fears.

I did them no harm, but they hid a net to trap me, and they dug a deep pit to catch and kill me.

The trouble they cause comes back on them, and their heads are crushed by their own evil deeds.

And so, everyone in the east and those on the islands should praise the LORD, the God of Israel.

But that's not all! We gladly suffer, because we know that suffering helps us to endure.

Always use the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to thank God the Father for everything.
