32. Psalm 57

1 Be merciful to me, O God,
Thy mercy unto me
Do thou extend; because my soul
doth put her trust in thee.

2 Yea, in the shadow of Thy wings
My refuge I will place,
Until these sad calamities
Do wholly overpass.

3 My cry I will cause to ascend
Unto the Lord most high;
To God, who doth all things for me
Perform most perfectly.

4 O Lord, exalted be Thy name
Above the heav’ns to stand:
Do Thou Thy glory far advance
Above both sea and land.
