| 57:2 | I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. |
| 57:3 | He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. |

| 57:5 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. |
| 57:6 | They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. |
| 57:7 | My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. |
| 57:8 | Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. |
| 57:9 | I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. |
| 57:10 | For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. |
| 57:11 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. |
