1. Be merciful to me, God; be merciful to mebecause I come to you for protection.Let me hide under the shadow of your wingsuntil the trouble has passed.
2. I cry out to God Most High,to the God who does everything for me.
3. He sends help from heaven and saves me.He punishes those who chase me.SelahGod sends me his love and truth.
4. Enemies, like lions, are all around me;I must lie down among them.Their teeth are like spears and arrows,their tongues as sharp as swords.
5. God is supreme over the skies;his majesty covers the earth.
