[1] God Most High, have pity on me! Have mercy. I run to you for safety. In the shadow of your wings, I seek protection till danger dies down. [2] I pray to you, my protector. [3] You will send help from heaven and save me, but you will bring trouble on my attackers. You are faithful, and you can be trusted. [4] I live among lions, who gobble down people! They have spears and arrows instead of teeth, and they have sharp swords instead of tongues. [5] May you, my God, be honored above the heavens; may your glory be seen everywhere on earth. [6] Enemies set traps for my feet and struck me down. They dug a pit in my path, but fell in it themselves. [7] I am faithful to you, and you can trust me. I will sing and play music for you, my God. [8] I feel wide awake! I will wake up my harp and wake up the sun. [9] I will praise you, Lord, for everyone to hear, and I will sing hymns to you in every nation. [10] Your love reaches higher than the heavens; your loyalty extends beyond the clouds. [11] May you, my God, be honored above the heavens; may your glory be seen everywhere on earth.
