57	Psalm 57	LM
	MY God, in Whom are all the springs    Of boundless love and grace unknown, Hide me beneath Thy spreading wings,     Till these calamities are gone.
2	Up to the heavens I send my cry;     The Lord will my desires perform; He sends His mercy from the sky,     And saves me from the threatening storm.
3	Be Thou exalted, O my God,     Above the heavens, where angels dwell; Thy power on earth be known abroad,     And land to land Thy wonders tell.
4	My heart is fixed, my song shall raise     Immortal honours to Thy name; Awake my tongue, send forth my praise,     With all the fervour of my frame.
5	High o’er the earth His mercy reigns,     And reaches to the utmost sky; His Truth to endless years remains,     When lower worlds dissolve and die.
	Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
