1 Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me for I take refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge until disaster has passed.2 I cry out to God Most High, To God who works for me.3 He will send from heaven, and save me, He rebukes the one who is pursuing me. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.4 I am among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows. Their tongue is a sharp sword.5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!6 They have prepared a net for my steps. I am bowed down. They dig a pit before me. But they have fallen into it.7 My heart is steadfast O God. Yes my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing and make melody.8 Wake up, my glory! Wake up, stringed instrument and harp! I will wake up the dawn.9 I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O Jehovah. I will sing praises to you among the nations.10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
