1 Be merciful to me, God. Be merciful to mebecause I come to you for protection.I will come to you as a bird comes for protection under its mother’s wingsuntil the trouble has passed.
2 I cry out to God Most High,to the God who does everything for me.
3 He sends help from heaven and saves me.He punishes those who attack me. SelahGod sends me his love and truth.
4 Enemies are like lions all around me.I must lie down among them.Their teeth are like spears and arrows.Their tongues are as sharp as swords.
5 God is supreme over the skies.His greatness covers the earth.
