1. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, until {cf15i these} calamities be overpast.
2. I will cry unto God Most High; unto God that performeth {cf15i all things} for me.
3. He shall send from heaven, and save me, {cf15i when} he that would swallow me up reproacheth; {cf15i Selah} God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4. My soul is among lions; I lie 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; {cf15i let} thy glory {cf15i be} above all the earth.
6. They have prepared a net for my steps; thy soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. {cf15i Selah}
7. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
8. Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.
9. I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
10. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the skies.
11. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; {cf15i let} thy glory {cf15i be} above all the earth.
