Psalm 57: Be merciful to me, O God

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #P61 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Be merciful to me, O God Lyrics: 1Be merciful to me, O God; thy mercy unto me Do thou extend; because my soul doth put her trust in thee: Yea, in the shadow of thy wings my refuge I will place, Until these sad calamities do wholly overpass. 2My cry I will cause to ascend unto the Lord most high; To God, who doth all things for me perform most perfectly. 3From heav’n he shall send down, and me from his reproach defend That would devour me: God his truth and mercy forth shall send. 4My soul among fierce lions is, I firebrands live among, Men’s sons, whose teeth are spears and darts, a sharp sword is their tongue. 5Be thou exalted very high above the heav’ns, O God; Let thou thy glory be advanc’d o’er all the earth abroad. 6My soul’s bow’d down; for they a net have laid, my steps to snare: Into the pit which they have digg’d for me, they fallen are. 7My heart is fix’d, my heart is fix’d, O God; I’ll sing and praise. 8My glory wake; wake psalt’ry, harp; myself I’ll early raise. 9I’ll praise thee ‘mong the people, Lord; ’mong nations sing will I: 10For great to heav’n thy mercy is, thy truth is to the sky. 11O Lord, exalted be thy name above the heav’ns to stand: Do thou thy glory far advance above both sea and land.

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Be merciful to me, O God!" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
