¹ Have mercy on me, O God! Have mercy on me! For in you I have taken shelter. In the shadow of your wings I take shelter until trouble passes. ² I cry out for help to the sovereign God, to the God who vindicates me. ³ May he send help from heaven and deliver me from my enemies who hurl insults! May God send his loyal love and faithfulness! ⁴ I am surrounded by lions; I lie down among those who want to devour me; men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are a sharp sword. ⁵ Rise up above the sky, O God! May your splendor cover the whole earth! ⁶ They have prepared a net to trap me; I am discouraged. They have dug a pit for me. They will fall into it! (Selah) ⁷ I am determined, O God! I am determined! I will sing and praise you! ⁸ Awake, my soul! Awake, O stringed instrument and harp! I will wake up at dawn! ⁹ I will give you thanks before the nations, O Master! I will sing praises to you before foreigners! ¹⁰ For your loyal love extends beyond the sky, and your faithfulness reaches the clouds. ¹¹ Rise up above the sky, O God! May your splendor cover the whole earth!
