[1] Be gracious to me, 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. [2] I will cry to God Most High, To God who accomplishes all things for me. [3] He will send from heaven and save me; He rebukes the one who tramples upon me. Selah God will send His favor and His truth. [4] My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who devour, Among sons of mankind whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue is a sharp sword. [5] Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth. [6] 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 [7] My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises! [8] Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. [9] I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations. [10] For Your goodness is great to the heavens And Your truth to the clouds. [11] Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth.
