1 Have pity on me, O God. Have pity on me,because my soul takes refuge in you.I will take refuge in the shadow of your wingsuntil destructive storms pass by.
2 I call to God Most High,to the God who does everything for me.
3 He sends his help from heaven and saves me.He disgraces the one who is harassing me. SelahGod sends his mercy and his truth!
4 My soul is surrounded by lions.I must lie down with man-eating lions.Their teeth are spears and arrows.Their tongues are sharp swords.
5 May you be honored above the heavens, O God.Let your glory extend over the whole earth.
6 ⌊My enemies⌋ spread out a net to catch me.(My soul is bowed down.) They dug a pit to trap me,but then they fell into it. Selah
7 My heart is confident, O God.My heart is confident.I want to sing and make music.
