1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul trusts in You. Yea, in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities pass by.2 I will cry out unto God Most High, unto the Mighty God who does all things for me.3 He will send from Heaven, and deliver me from the reproaches of him who would swallow me up. Selah. God will send forth His mercy and His truth.4 My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men who are on fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let Your glory be above all the earth.6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down; they have dug a pit before me, they have fallen into it. Selah.7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.8 Awake, my honor! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.9 I will give thanks unto You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make music unto You among the nations.10 For Your mercy is great to the heavens, and Your truth unto the clouds.11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let Your glory be above all the earth.
