1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.3 He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me — "God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.4 I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts — men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.6 They spread a net for my feet — I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path — but they have fallen into it themselves.7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in you: yes, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over.2 I will cry to God most high; to God that performes all things for me.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.4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be above all the earth.6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have dig a pit before me, into the middle whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.9 I will praise you, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to you among the nations.10 For your mercy is great to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.11 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: let your glory be above all the earth.
