Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,
For my soul takes refuge in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction passes by.

 I will cry to God Most High,
To God who accomplishes all things for me.

He will send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah.
God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.

My soul is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They dug a pit before me;
They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises! Awake, my glory!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the^]nations.

For Your lovingkindness is great to the heavens
And Your truth to the clouds.

 Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
