1 Show me your favor, God. Show me your favor. I go to you for safety. I will find safety in the shadow of your wings. There I will stay until the danger is gone.
2 I cry out to God Most High. I cry out to God, and he carries out his plan for me.
3 He answers from heaven and saves me. He puts to shame those who chase me. Selah He shows me his love and his truth.
4 Men who are like lions are all around me. I am lying down among hungry animals. Their teeth are like spears and arrows. Their tongues are like sharp swords.
5 God, may you be honored above the heavens. Let your glory be over the whole earth.
6 My enemies spread a net to catch me by the feet. I felt helpless. They dug a pit in my path. But they fell into it themselves. Selah
