- 1Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
- 2I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
- 3He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
- 4My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
- 5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
- 6They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. Selah.
- 7My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
- 8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, psaltery and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
- 9I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
- 10For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
- 11Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
