|
1 |
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for in you my soul takes 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 fulfils his purpose for me.
|
|
3 |
He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me;
Selah
God sends his love and his faithfulness.
|
|
4 |
I am in the midst of lions;
I lie 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.
Selah
|
|
7 |
My heart is steadfast, O God,
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, O 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.
