- 1
- ¶ BE merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me;
for my soul trusts in thee; yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge until these calamities be overpast.
- 2
- I will cry to God most High, to God my Saviour.
- 3
- For he has sent from heaven and delivered me;
he has put mine enemies to shame. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
- 4
- He has delivered my life from the vicious as I slept in fear, and from the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongues sharp swords.
- 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 feet;
they have digged a pit for my soul, into the midst of which they themselves have fallen.
- 7
- ¶ My heart is made ready, O God, my heart is ready;
I will sing and give praise in my glory.
- 8
- Awake, my harp;
awake, psaltery and harp; I myself will awake early.
- 9
- I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people;
I will sing unto thy name among the nations.
- 10
- For thy mercy is exalted to the sky and thy faithfulness to the heavens.
- 11
- Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let thy glory be above all the earth.
