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 these ^[a]calamities be overpast.
² I will cry unto God Most High,
Unto God that performeth all things for me.
³ He will send from heaven, and save me,
When he that would swallow me up reproacheth; Selah
God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth.
⁴ My soul is among lions;
I ^[b]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;
Let thy glory be above all the earth.

⁶ They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down:
They have digged a pit before me;
They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. 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 ^[c]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 lovingkindness is great unto the heavens,
And thy truth unto the skies.
¹¹ Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let thy glory be above all the earth.
