Daily Bible GNT July 7 Verses

A Prayer for Help

Psalm 57 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful,

because I come to you for safety.

In the shadow of your wings I find protection

until the raging storms are over.

²I call to God, the Most High,

to God, who supplies my every need.

³He will answer from heaven and save me;

he will defeat my oppressors.

God will show me his constant love and faithfulness.

⁴I am surrounded by enemies,

who are like lions hungry for human flesh.

Their teeth are like spears and arrows;

their tongues are like sharp swords.

⁵Show your greatness in the sky, O God,

and your glory over all the earth.

⁶My enemies have spread a net to catch me;

I am overcome with distress.

They dug a pit in my path,

but fell into it themselves.

⁷I have complete confidence, O God;

I will sing and praise&nTsp;you!

⁸Wake up, my soul!

Wake up, my harp and lyre!

I will wake up the sun.

⁹I will thank you, O Lord, among the nations.

I will praise you among the peoples.

¹⁰Your constant love reaches the heavens;

your faithfulness touches the skies.

¹¹Show your greatness in the sky, O God,

and your glory over all the earth.
