1 Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me,for I take refuge in You.I will seek refuge in the shadow of Your wingsuntil danger passes.
2 I call to God Most High,to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
3 He reaches down from heaven and saves me,challenging the one who tramples me. SelahGod sends His faithful love and truth.
4 I am surrounded by lions;I lie down with those who devour men.Their teeth are spears and arrows;their tongues are sharp swords.
