1 Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious tome!For my soul seeks refuge in You;in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,until the ruinous storm passes by.
2 I will cry to God Most High,to God who vindicates me.
3 He will send from heaven and save mefrom the taunt of the one who crushes me. SelahGod will send forth His mercy and His truth.
4 My soul is among lions,and I lie among the sons of men who blaze like fire,whose teeth are spears and arrows,and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;may Your glory be above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps;my soul is bowed down;they have dug a pit before me,but they have fallen into it. Selah
7 My heart is fixed, O God,my heart is fixed;I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake, my glory!Awake, psaltery and harp!I will awake the dawn.
9 I will thank You, O Lord, among the peoples;I will sing to You among the nations.
10 For Your mercy is great up to the heavens,and Your truth extends to the clouds.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;may Your glory be above all the earth.
