Psalm 57:7

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody!

See the chapter Copy

He is not afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not stray from thy precepts.

I say to the Lord, Thou art my God; give ear to the voice of my supplications, O Lord!

Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and from the snares of evildoers!

I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

For without cause they hid their net for me; without cause they dug a pit for my life.

His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own pate his violence descends.

Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord; in the coastlands of the sea, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

always and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.
