1HAVE mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for my soul takes refuge in You.
I take refuge in the shadow of Your wings,
until the disaster has passed.
2 I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who fulfils His purposes for me.
3 He reaches out from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who would swallow me up. Selah
God keeps His faithful love and His truth!
4 I am in the midst of lions;
I lie down among ravenous beasts;
sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongues sharp swords.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let Your glory be over all the earth.
6 They have spread a net for my steps;
my soul is bowed down.
They dug a pit in my path,
but they fell into it themselves! Selah
7 My heart is faithful, O God,
my heart is faithful;
I will sing and make melody!
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For Your faithful love reaches to the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let Your glory be over all the earth.
