1Be merciful 1unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in 2the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
2I will cry unto 1God most high; unto God 2that performeth all things for me.
3He 1shall send from heaven, and asave me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God 2shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4My soul is among 1lions: 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.
5Be 1thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6They 1have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: 2they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
7My 1heart is afixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
81Awake up, my aglory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10For 1thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11Be 1thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
