Psalm 57:7

New English Translation

I am determined, O God! I am determined! I will sing and praise you!

See the chapter Copy

He does not fear bad news. He is confident; he trusts in the Lord.

The wicked lay a trap for me, but I do not wander from your precepts.

I say to the Lord, “You are my God.” O Lord, pay attention to my plea for mercy!

Protect me from the snare they have laid for me, and the traps the evildoers have set.

I sought the Lord’s help and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me and dug a pit to trap me.

He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head.

So in the east extol the Lord, along the seacoasts extol the fame of the Lord God of Israel.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

always giving thanks to God the Father for each other in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
