1 Be merciful to me, God; be merciful to mebecause I come to you for protection.Let me hide under the shadow of your 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 chase me.SelahGod sends me his love and truth.
4 Enemies, like lions, are all around me;I must lie down among them.Their teeth are like spears and arrows,their tongues as sharp as swords.
5 God is supreme over the skies;his majesty covers the earth.
