Psalms 57:5

Compare all

3 ^aHe shall send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches the one who¹ would swallow me up. Selah
God ^bshall send forth His mercy and His truth.

4 My soul is among lions;
I lie among the sons of men
Who are set on fire,
^aWhose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.

5 ^aBe exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

6 ^aThey have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

7 ^aMy heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise.

Psalms 57:5

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens - Let the glory of thy mercy and truth be seen in the heavens above, and in the earth beneath. Several of the fathers apply what is said above to the passion of our Lord, and what is said here to his resurrection.
