1: Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my
soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my
refuge, until these calamities be overpast. |
|
2: I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all
things for me. |
|
3:
He shall send from heaven, and save from the reproach of him
that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his
truth. |
|
4: My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set
on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and
their tongue a sharp sword. |
|
5: Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be
above all the earth. |
|
6: They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down:
they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen
themselves. Selah. |
|
7: My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and
give praise. |
|
8: Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will
awake early. |
|
9: I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto
thee among the nations. |
|
10: For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto
the clouds. |
|
11: Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be
above all the earth. |
